A gift

In my previous post, I told you the story of how I met my dear friend Jeffrey who introduced me to the fishing business.

I learned so many things from him that day...

Yeah. This guy owns a fishing business at a very young age and his fishing boats are not just after the ordinary kinds of fish you commonly see at the wet market.

What kind of fish are they catching? It's TUNA. Big Tunas.

I was previously employed to one of Gensan's biggest shopping malls, the KCC Mall of Gensan.
As an IT guy, I belonged to the Management Information Systems (MIS) Group who is in charge of the company's computer systems. And that's where I met Jeffrey.

General Santos city, abbreviated G.S.C. or GenSan, was formerly known as Dadiangás. The city was named for General Paulino Santos, who was tasked by President Quezon in 1939 to cultivate the area’s fertile natural resources. It is classified as a highly-urbanized first class city. Cebuano is the main language spoken in General Santos City and the surrounding communities. The people living in the GenSan city are fond of calling themselves "THE GENERALS".

Get To Know Him Deeper

Before we start our journey to the fishing world, I'd like to introduce myself first.

Simple Me =)

My name is Ivan Jude Busgano and I am an IT by profession. I am 24 years old and I was born in Polomolok, South Cotabato, where the largest pineapple company in the world, the Dole Philippines Inc., is located. Polomolok is just 17 km away from General Santos City, the tuna capital of the Philippines. My parents, Miguel and Ruby, grew up and met each other in Polomolok as well. I am the youngest among five siblings and also the cutest. All of us were given two names by our parents and the first letter of our second names start with letter "J".

Never in my life did I thought to have something to share about fishing. Not even once. Though I was born in a town just 25 miles from the shore, I never bothered thinking about fishing. My only encounter with the blue waters was when we went for swimming. I was born and raised as a typical small town boy and such was my background.
