Our transport from Davao to Digos and vice-versa was a longer-than-usual-built-fo​r-the-rough-road jeepney that picked us up from the airport. Its size and strength amazed me - being able to support 30+ passengers with 30+backpacks inside and over the roof. Our first destination was Shoe Mart to shop for our camping supplies like food and butane. We stayed overnight in Digos. On the first day of the climb, we were brought to the jump off point after registration and securing permits.
