Our flight back to Manila from CDO is at 10:00 am so it’s not really considered a whole day for us there. We had an early morning start and had a cramming moment to buy pasalubongs (souvenirs) at the market. Lanzones in Camiguin is cheaper and yummier compared to that in CDO. The pastels are just the same between Camiguin and CDO. Anyway, just hire a motorella to take you to the market and just go around to look for pasalubongs and souvenirs.

We hired a taxi going to the airport since it was a bit far away from Victoria Suites. CDO airport is a bit small but it’s very clean. The flight back to Manila was uneventful, except for the time that J won a bag in the Cebu Pacific game they had haha.
And that concludes our Northern Mindanao Trip. For 5 days and 4 nights, we were able to go to Camiguin, try the white water rafting in CDO, go around CDO, ride the dual zipline in Dahilayan in Bukidnon, and visit the 2 popular waterfalls in Iligan City. Not bad for a first timer in Mindanao. Our expenses report, unfortunately, got erased so I have no record of it now. But we spent around 18,000php all in all for the 2 of us so that’s roughly 9,000php + each person. Which is not bad at all!
