The Province of Sarangani became more popular because it's the hometown of Manny Pacquiao's wife, Jinkee. The boxer even represented the province in the Philippine Congress in 2010. But before being associated with the Pacquiao Family, the province is already known for its stunning tourist spots, must-visit attractions, and gorgeous destinations.
