4 Central Mindanao University Map To Cagayan de Oro City CEBREM To Davao City Travel to Symposium Location The symposium will be held at the Farmers Training Center, Central Mindanao University (CMU), Musuan, Bukidnon, Mindanao, Philippines. The University is in the Municipality of Maramag, with the clearly visible landmark Musuan Peak. The closest airports are those in Davao (direct flights from Manila, Cebu, Zamboanga, Iloilo, Puerto Princesa, and Singapore) and Cagayan de Oro City. Cagayan de Oro port receives passenger boats from Manila, Cebu, Tagbilaran, Bacolod, Dumaguete, Iloilo, and Jagna, Bohol. For those arriving by plane, a trip by land is required from either Cagayan de Oro City or Davao City. From the Laguindingan airport, you may take a van to the Agora Bus Terminal in Cagayan de Oro City. Take a Davao-bound bus; the 126 km trip to Musuan, located between Valencia and Maramag, usually takes 4-5 hours. An alternative is to rent a vehicle from the airport all the way to Musuan. The fare should be agreed upon before the trip. From the Davao City airport, take a taxi to the Ecoland Bus Terminal. Take a Cagayan-bound bus for the 154 km trip to Musuan (located after Maramag and before Valencia). The land trip that passes the scenic and high elevation Marilog Forest and Mt. Salumay usually takes 4-5 hours.
