About this crossing

The weekly 2GO ship leaves General Santos late on Saturday and works its way north through Zamboanga and Iloilo, with a stop of several hours at each, before reaching Manila on Tuesday afternoon. Passengers for Iloilo can leave it on the way, and from the sailing of 26 September so can those for Zamboanga (General Santos to Zamboanga).

It is the same vessel that starts from Davao City earlier on Saturday (Davao City to Manila), so joining here saves most of a day aboard. Southbound, Manila to General Santos goes by way of Davao.
