My first visit to Philippines – Manila to Davao City to Kidapawan City

by Dr. Jeremy Johnson | Posted on

It was a long trek that took about 24 hours to go from Chicago to the Southern Philippines – but it was all worth it! 

After leaving Chicago I had a layover in Japan then landed in Manila with an overnight layover and left for Davao followed by a 4 hour drive in the rain to Kidapawan City. 

After arriving in Kidapawan we had a chance to visit the Dr. Alfred’s farm.

It was a great visit and thanks to the Villarico’s for being such great hosts!

Here are a few photos to get there!

More pictures of the farm to be posted soon
