MANILA, Philippines — Mobile services provider TNT is helping keep the fun in the 22nd Tuna Festival alive this year as it partners with the local government of GenSan in taking the celebrations online from Aug. 29 to Sept. 15.
As one of the most anticipated events in Mindanao every year, the Tuna Festival attracts thousands of guests to the “Tuna Capital of the Philippines” for the colorful parades, cultural shows, and talent competitions. Its main highlight is the annual Karagatan Awards, which honors the unsung heroes of the fishing industry.
