Soccsksargen, Administrative region in southern Mindanao, Philippines

Soccsksargen encompasses four provinces and one metropolitan area, covering 22,000 square kilometers of varied terrain in south-central Mindanao.

The ancient settlement in Maitum, Sarangani revealed anthropomorphic pottery collections that became protected National Cultural Treasures of the Philippines.

The region maintains strong musical traditions through kulintang performances, featuring gong ensembles that reflect the heritage of Maguindanao communities.

General Santos International Airport serves as the main gateway to the region, connecting travelers to major cities through regular domestic flights.

The name Soccsksargen originates from the initials of its constituent areas: South Cotabato, Cotabato, Sultan Kudarat, Sarangani, and General Santos.
