| Map of Eastern Visayas (Region VIII) |
Three
years ago, most provinces of Eastern Visayas were struck by Typhoon Haiyan
(locally Yolanda). Many lives were lost and structures were badly damaged. I
got curious on the present situation there since I’ve never set foot there.
Good thing I booked a promo fare from budget airline last year. I knew this
would be my chance to visit the historic places on that region.
The
day finally came as I found myself preparing my backpack that morning for a
4-day journey. I did web check-in to make sure I have a designated seat so I
can go directly to boarding hall. Unfortunately, my flight was delayed for 2
hours due to technical difficulties. This was the first time I got delayed this
long enough to make me sleep as I came from graveyard shift. I bought some
siopao and water to calm my hungry tummy.
Finally
we got boarded and after an hour, we arrived at Daniel Z. Romualdez airport
located at a peninsula jutting out of Tacloban City. Adventure starts now! Adi na ak ha Tacloban!
I immediately got out of the airport to catch up a jeepney leading us to downtown.
In
my 4-day stay in Eastern Visayas, I was able to visit three provinces: Leyte,
Southern Leyte and Samar.
