Haze from Indonesia’s forest fires has blanketed not only Indonesia, neighboring Malaysia and parts of Thailand, but also several provinces in Mindanao.

On the road to Ozamiz City in Misamis Occidental from Davao City last Monday, October 19, haze blanketed provinces along the route — from Davao to Cotabato, along the Narciso Ramos Highway and on to the Labangan-Molave route.

In our 12-hour drive, haze could be seen covering the plains of North Cotabato, the mountain ranges straddling Maguindanao and Lanao del Sur, and the scenic Illana Bay from the coastal areas of Lanao del Norte and some parts of Zamboanga del Sur.

On our return to Davao City on Friday, October 23, we continued to be accompanied by the haze that has also blanketed General Santos City, Davao City, Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro.
