Yes, we did 😁 We didn't anticipate the traffic from the airport to the terminal and the number of bus terminal stops to Mati. We were all already done when we reached Tagum 😄 and there was still a long stretch ahead. It was worth the travel though.
Mati is so isolated, rustic, and natural and that's part of the charm. Dahican Beach is unbelievably stunning and clean too.
