This is another roadtrip experience. (^_^)
Camiguin Island is situated in the Northern part of Mindanao. From General Santos City it is a more or less 9 hours of road trip depending on which way. And, we chooses the shorter one the Via Carmen, North Cotabato.
Route: Gensan-Marbel-Tacurong-Pres. Quirino- Buluan-Datu Paglas-Tulunan-Matalam-Kabakan-Carmen-Maramag-Valencia-Malaybalay-CDO-Misamis Oriental-Mambajao
And the journey begins.....

| @ Koronadal City, First stop-over |
We left Gensan at 7 pm of Friday, 5 vehicles convoyed with each other. After almost 5 hours on the road, in the middle of the mountain in Carmen, North Cotabato one of the vehicle got a problem, we've stopped for awhile but knowing that its a dangerous area we let it run up to Maramag, Bukidnon and get some help.

And we're stranded in Maramag, Bukidnon for almost 3 hours then. Then we're off to Cagayan De oro at 3am.
