San Jose Market, Tacloban

Image
It's a small wet market by the southern edge of Cancabato Bay. On 'google maps', it is the Talipapa behind the St. Joseph Church in Brgy 85, San Jose, Tacloban City. There is (now) a breakwater, considered a promenade by the locals, because of a wonderful sunset view. Many folks call this place Talipapa - that Tagalog term is starting to get "nationalized" haha! But today I found out, this place is a good alternative source of fresh sea produce! Not that I particularly needed to buy fish nor anything food. I just tagged along with one of our drivers in Tacloban, who incidentally is a very good cook. He was on the prowl for the freshest fish and other seafoods. I said "let me go with you" (to catch some sunset)! Cloudy day. The sky did not show much of its usual golden hues (see pics above)... But some of the fish I saw were gold! Wow! They must look fantastic under the sea! I learned, that most of the produce sold here, arrive late afternoons to e...

Beware of JAM / Tritran Bus

Readers should all be aware of this when going to Puerto Galera or any of the destinations en route to Batangas City! There is an anomaly that the bus company (or probably just their employees and without the management’s knowledge) has been perpetrating. Last February 25, 2005, being a holiday, I, together with three of my friends decided to go to Puerto Galera for a much needed weekend break. We decided to take a JAM/Tritran bus by reason of its station being conveniently located at EDSA near Kamuning which happens to be nearest our residences. This decision to take Tritran ruined our weekend! We were at the bus station as early as 5:30AM so we can take the 6AM trip. We happily rode on bus number 727, a yellow JAM liner. The aircon was great – even too cold and the bus was clean. It got readily full to capacity so we left by just about 5 minutes past 6AM. Upon departure, the “conduktor” distributed tickets without asking for our money yet. After he has given tickets to everyone, he c...

Puerto Galera’s White Beach - Gay Capital of the Philippines?!

Image
AMAZING must be the one word that most everyone (esp first-timers) can muster to describe the place. Compared to any other place in the country, I must say, this place is truly, yes, amazing! Some friends could only say: " ang saya-saya! " I have visited this place in the late ‘80s but we stayed at a fine resort far from White Beach. We only visited White Beach during a quick day-tour. Thus, I may fairly say, I am new to this vacation spot. Here are my notes on the recent sojourn: We arrived on a Friday declared by the government as “holiday”. So we were in for a 3D2N visit. The boat’s arrival at White Beach felt like arriving at Boracay – boat hits smack to the sand, crew lays down a wooden plank, passengers disembark through the plank on to the beach and walk up to dry land where the resorts, restaurants, bars and stores are lined toe-on-toe. However, unlike in Boracay, as we disembarked, there were not so many people in the clear and really tempting blue-green waters....
