On our last day, while I was attending the convention, hubby wandered by himself. Below are the areas he visited.

Agusan River by the Magsaysay Bridge – from Wikipedia: The third longest river in the Philippines that ran all the way from Compostela Valley. It measures about 177 kilometers and divided into three sub-basin: upper basin – from Compostela Valley to Santa Josefa Agusan del Sur to Veruela, Agusan del Sur; the middle basin – to Amparo, Agusan del Sur; the lower basin – to its ocean mouth in Butuan City, Agusan del Norte.

Finally, on our way to Bislig, we crossed the Macapagal Bridge (formerly Magsaysay Bridge 2). With 882 meters length, it is the longest suspension bridge in Mindanao. It connects the Butuan-Surigao-Davao road and Butuan-Cagayan-Iligan road.
