PPD SB`ers , Hello , it`s Kevin in S. Phils. ... Dumaguete . I am looking for a way to get from Davao , Mindanao to Bitung , ( Manado , ) Sulawesi area ? I know Merpati and another airline used to fly Silawacki ( SP. ? ) up until last Dec 07 before Christmas . Anyone gone to Manado . I really hope I don`t have to go via Manila ... SIngapore as I am so much closer via Davao . Also ... maybe folks have been to Sipadan ( Sandakan Malyasia ) and have taken boats to Manado , Sulawesi . I can go to Zambogita and get a weesam to Sandakan . Thanks for any help getting to Manado from the S. Philippines . Kevin
