Lake Sebu is considered one of the Philippines’ most important watersheds. It is a major provider of irrigation to the provinces of Sultan Kudarat and South Cotabato. The DOT has promoted the lake as one of the prime eco-tourism destinations in Mindanao. One interesting fact about it is that it is in the ancestral domain of the T’boli and Ubo tribes.

There’s a place in South Cotabato that offers not only a relaxing stay and a fun-filled day with your loved ones but also a magnificent view of the still but grand Lake Sebu. Sa Balai Lake View Resort in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato is a place to be for those who want to venture on an experience down south of the Philippines.
