Dunno but I can ask her this evening when she wakes up. All I know is that she called the DHL branch near Lanang in Davao.

Okay thanks,,, will let her know. I doubt it is ours but will let her know and tell her to give them a call. Digos is not a big city and I don't know how many would be going to Canada

Moose picked up his visa at that very branch. They called to arrange delivery way later in the afternoon but he opted for them to hold for him pick up that morning. It was too much excitement.

Hi Gooner it's 2 bags of roughy 50 pounds which I guess is 23 kgs. It's quite a big baggage allowance sometimes I feel bad not being able to use it up on my flights there
