We Love You


Nice little twist in that otherwise boringly common 'thank you sign'. This one you’ll see as you leave the San Vicente Wharf, entering city proper of Bogo.

Ah yes, the creative ways of communicating in these our times!

Carigara Delicacies as Pasalubong

Image
This was still on my joyride from Calubian to Tacloban, we naturally had to pass by Carigara. This time we "stopped-to-shop" oh ha?! My driver promised his three lovely daughters that he would bring home some pasalubong from Carigara, thus the 'shopping'. He went (I followed) to only this roadside store.., Well, he's been a driver for so long a time, I cannot contest his knowledge on where to buy the best of these pasalubongs! There are many stores on this highway strip, and I think they sell the same things! As the driver picked what he had to pick (and haggled with the vendors for more] I clicked hehe! Here's the honest deal about me and these sweets from Carigara - or other sweets from anywhere for that matter: I am not really too keen on any of them, such that I'd crave for, or plan to specifically seek them out. BUT - when I get started with ANY of them, there's no telling when I will/can stop. IF at all! I do not even know or care to know wha...

THE BOULEVARD, Surigao City

Image
Virtually everyone in Surigao City is related to this boulevard directly or indirectly! It's such a big thing , they even have a Surigao City Boulevard Development Program and a Surigao City Development Authority . I'm not joking. Those are for real. As in! Involved in it are not only their local politicians but also the chambers of commerce. What is it anyway? Foremost it's a 1.8 kilometer stretch of a highway along the seafront. The concrete pavement tells me it is still new. That is it! Walang basagan ng trip! It is an emulation (kumbaga sa Tagalog pa: gaya-gaya ) of Roxas Boulevard in Manila, or pwede rin Dumaguete’s Rizal Boulevard - and many other seafront boulevards. Aside from being a “park” for the residents, it is supposed to be an attraction in the city, showcasing whatever bla-blah-blah to attract tourists from everywhere on earth. While I was inclined to raise my eyebrows, it did attract me. I was a tourist, right?! So okay, without a speck of d...

Curious About "Hill 120"

Image
Beautiful day. Beautiful view of the pacific as I approached Dulag from Tolosa. Before the town proper, I saw that brown marker telling me I was near (300 meters)... Hey you! Yes you! Do you even know what "Hill 120" is? What the "Hill" is it anyway?! For many non-Warays, this is unheard of, right? Yes, and this time, may I shamefully claim I am a non-Waray. Eh kesa naman I shamelessly claim that I am Waray tapos di ko man lang alam iyang Hill 120 na yan! Hahaha, yeah, I do not even remember if this thing was mentioned by Renato Constantino in our PHI textbook way back in college hehehe! But if it is any consolation, I have done my informal verbal research before visiting this place - I asked too many Waray-warays who are even residents of this region up till now, and - many of them do not really know, or have not even heard of Hill 120. Patas tayo! Anyway, I became aware of Hill 120 because of the many number of times I passed by it, in the course of perfor...
