Island Hopping In Biliran And Discovering The Majestic Underrated Sambawan Island
Last March, we took a few days off from the hustle and bustle of Manila to go island hopping in Biliran, among other things.
Like I said previously, it was tricky planning this, especially since we were on a budget. From Talahid, a boat to Sambawan Island alone costs P3500, and this seems to be the price range from Kawayan Port as well. I'd hate to imagine how much we'd have to spend if we wanted to visit the rest of the islands in Biliran.
But the Universe is generous and all-giving.

Travel Guide To Biliran And Cuatro Islas In Leyte
Now here's the technical part of our trip in Leyte: a travel guide to Sambawan Island in Biliran and Cuatro Islas in southern Leyte. I hope you weren't totally discouraged with what I wrote last time and have a better time than we did.
Exploring Biliran and Cuatro Islas in 4-5 days is actually a stretch. I know it's common for local backpackers to move around a lot in order to see as many places as possible. Still, I'll have to agree with others I've talked with that it's better to do a separate trip each for Biliran and Leyte.
In its own way, I did enjoy Biliran. If I were to do this ag ... -
A Wanderers Journal The Hidden Paradise Of Eastern Visayas
Mid-year Somber
Riding a plane en route to somewhere far-away was my way of temporarily bidding adieu to a place, in this case, the metropolis, that blows an air of despondency and so I did, we did. I always knew that the ocean is a place of solace and healing, well, at least, for me and my friends.
Arriving in Tacloban, a city that was once devastated 3 years ago by super typhoon Yolanda, we were dumbfounded at how the locals here are now all-smiles and highly accommodating. We shied away from even asking how life has been since the typhoon, but eyes spoke well of the struggle and of ho ... -
Higatangan Island A Less Traveled White Sand Bar To Visit In Biliran
Have you ever tried to visit a place, but you never know what it seems like? How do you feel about it? I guess you'll definitely agree with me that it seems to be like a true love when it arrive, you didn't expect it to knock at the peaceful door of your heart, but you just fell in love without a boat load of expectations. All I know at that moment was traipsing my two little itchy feet to an Island that I've barely heard of, but didn't know what it looks like. I have not seen any photos before heading to this island and I have simply heard about this Island when my friend told me about it.
