MANILA — In Barangay Tinoto, Maasim, Sarangani, local and international paragliders prepare for the National Paragliding Fun Fly/Costume Flying and accuracy landing competition slated for October 29 to 31. Sarangani is increasingly becoming popular not only because of boxing champ Manny Pacquiao (now a Senator) but also because of its beaches, rivers, and now, the hills from which you could run and launch yourself into flying mode (strapped or harnessed to paraglider’s wings, of course.)

The province also hosted the International Paragliding Accuracy Competition (IPAC) in 2014 and a leg in the Paragliding Accuracy World Cup (PGAWC) in 2015.
