But there is more to Siargao than just surfing, as I discovered after visiting the island upon the invitation of Surigao del Norte Gov. Sol Matugas, former Rep.

Aside from surfing, the island also hosts an annual international game fishing tournament, which also brings prestige not just to Siargao, but to the whole province of Surigao del Norte.
