Vibrant in culture and teeming with nature. This Lake town in South Cotabato is home Flora, Fauna and Culture. Home to the indigenous tribes of Ubu and T'boli, Lake Sebu is also home to many Ilonggo, Cebuano, Ilokano and a choice to many Foreigners making Lake Sebu home to diversity. It is also home to the dream-weavers of T'nalak, that grandiose textile produced from abacca fibers and patterned from the dream of those who weave them.


Lake Sebu is so named to the biggest lake present in the municipality. The lake is teeming with Tilapia which is the primary source of economy of the people living around the lake together with tourism of course. 


Lake Sebu is also home to the famous 7 falls where one could enjoy its zipline of 600 feet. Soaring high above the waterfalls, this zipline is said to be the highest in all of Asia.



Lake Sebu is a claimed ancestral domain of the Indigenous tribe, T'boli. Once in the town, one could not but to appreciate the rich and interestingly unique culture of the T'boli. From their intricate beadworks to woven dreams in T'nalak. The T'boli culture makes Lake Sebu a truly wonderful experience.


Lake Sebu is also teeming with Floras and Faunas where one could find freely gliding Philippine monkeys. Endemic species of Philippine deers are also living around the lake. If one is lucky, one could find vendors selling wild birds they name "Kitihi."
