FINISHER SHIRTS

Participants from outside Mindanao, like Cebu and Manila, you can book your flight direct to Francisco Bangoy International Airport in Davao City.

 

Upon your arrival, you can ride a metered taxi (just outside the airport) going to Ecoland Terminal then take a bus (Wenna Bus) going to Kidapawan City, Cotabato. Then from Kidapawan, you can take a (multi)cab or single motor to Magpet or direct to Tagbac (venue), its only 14km away.

 

The transportation expense for this is only P700 back & forth including taxi but if you take a bus/jeep outside the airport (along the highway) going to Ecoland you will only spend P500.
