Things to do in Francisco Bangoy International Airport
Davao City is the largest city on Mindanao and the main gateway to two of the Philippines' natural treasures: Mount Apo, the country's highest peak (2,954 m), and the Philippine Eagle Center, which breeds the critically endangered national bird in a 8-hectare forested sanctuary. The city's produce market is extraordinary — Davao grows the Philippines' finest durian, pomelo, mangosteen, and rambutan, and a tour of the fruit market is itself a cultural experience. Samal Island's beaches are accessible by ferry.
