Region XI: Davao Region

It took me 3 trips before finishing  the Davao region. Mainly  because of the addition of Davao de Oro (formerly known as Compostela Valley) and that Davao Occidental is a bit far from the city center (no tours available from the time I inquired).

✈️ Davao Region (minus Davao de Oro and Davao Occidental) with Eden, Kim, and Jo
