Governor Generoso is located in the far ends of Davao Oriental, with Cape San Agustin Lighthouse marking its tip. It was once a strategic location for colonizers during the Spanish occupation because it’s directly fronting the pacific ocean where they can keep an eye out for possible enemies that attempt to invade the area.
