charming Tacloban
Tacloban is a small charming city in Leyte. It is the center of commerce, trade, culture, and government in the Eastern Visayas. The city has hidden charms for unknowing visitors.
A bridge walk in the beautiful San Juanico Bridge is a must. Enjoy the night at Magsaysay Boulevard over cold San Miguel Beer and a clean sea breeze . For book lovers theres the bookstore/reading room/cafe along Burgos street, called Libro.
Cafes are all over the city. There is Sanzibar for its good pasta, Kyles Folkhouse for cheap beer and good ambiance, Calle Zaragossa is an open air garden cafe, and Guiseppes for finedining .
San Miguel Beer price starts at P25 up to P35.
Taclobanons love to eat which accounts for the numbers of resto/bar and eateries which cater to every budget and craving.
Do not forget to sample the city's delicacy: Binagol and Moron . Its sweet, sticky, and rich
Toast to the best tuba the Bahalina. Tuba is a native wine from coconut . Aged tuba is bahalina. You can buy a bottled bahalina at Kokoys Grocerette.
There are daily flights from Manila to Tacloban City. From Cebu, the best way to get to Tacloban would be to ride on a fast boat, such as the Supercat fast craft, to Ormoc City and then take a 2 hour van for hire from Ormoc to Tacloban. It is very easy to cross to Cebu as well from Tacloban as there are van trips to Ormoc every one hour, and the fast ferry from Ormoc to Cebu has three trips each day.
From Tacloban , it is easy to cross down to Butuan and Surigao via bus and a scenic ferry crossing from Lilo-an to Butuan. If you are lucky, you might even spot dolphins swimming along with the ferry.

Beauteous Biliran Island
Biliran lies just off the north coast of Leyte. Between both islands runs the Biliran Strait, only a few km wide. At its narrowest part in the south, a bridge connects Biliran with Leyte.
Treasure trove Biliran has five different waterfalls to explore. To reach these falls involves trekking which varies from easy to hard. The more popular one is Tinago Falls in Caibiran Biliran. The most beautiful but much more difficult to reach is Bagombong Falls in Almeria Biliran.
Island hopping is a must. Higatangan and Maripipi Islands has white-sand beaches . Higatangan has shifting sand bars depending on the wind direction . Expect to have the entire beach to one's self. Biliran is yet to become a tourism hotspot.

Calicoan, Guian E.Samar
Guiuan is a small historical town at the southern most tip of Samar. Slowly it is seeing a crop of regular surfers who cant resist the challenging reef breaks.
Calicoan, Guian is considered a new surfing destination. It is part of the eastern shoreline of the Philippines exposed to the Pacific Ocean.
The surfing season is from September to March, the larger and more consistent waves arrive during the North East Monsoon or if there is a typhoon off the coast it will really push the swell up. If you want to explore and surf some locations that perhaps have never been surfed before, then Samar surfing is the place for you. All you need to bring with you is a bit of time and adventure and you may find your very own idyllic break with no one to drop in on you and annoy you. Why don’t you try and find your own paradise by the surf
