Anybody know anything about life in General Santos City?

wanderingsalsero

I have a contingency of perhaps spending a few months in General Santos City. Does anybody know anything about what life for an °µÍø½ûÇø is like down there.  I'll be earning income online.

I'm curious about:

1. the cleanliness of it,
2. is there much of an °µÍø½ûÇø community,
3. things to do,
4. availability of good internet connections,
5. availability of studio apartments to rent for 3 - 6 months,
6. are the local friendly toward foreigners?
7. etc.

I've heard that there's a nice beach nearby by called Gamasa, that's comparable to Boracay in its early days.  Is that true?

And it's also my understanding that the cheapest way to get there is via flights out of Clark.  I think Cebu Air is the air carrier, right?

I've heard that there's a nice beach nearby by called Gamasa   -its called  gumasa ,never been to boracay so cant compare   , And it's also my understanding that the cheapest way to get there is via flights out of Clark.  I think Cebu Air is the air carrier, right?     there are no flights from clark to gensan   -only from manila   with cebu pac   or phil airline
