La Paz to Mayorga

Moving onwards. As said in my previous post, this travel takes me back out to the national highway at Mayorga, then onwards to Mac Arthur (Leyte), Javier, Abuyog, etc.
Actually just a pass-thru of Abuyog and Javier as I'll be visiting them separately, soon.

It is just 6 or so kilometers from La Paz to Mayorga on still a nice provincial road..,
Though unlike at Julita and Burauen, this road did not feel and look 'very' new. And my driver educated me that indeed this was not new. This has been the 'original' and (even) the only way to La Paz until that new road connection from Burauen was constructed.

Just the same, this was also a ride along wonderful rural scenes until this corner...
That is the national road, going left is to Tacloban, but I'm turning to the right, here.


And just after emerging from that provincial road (above)... Welcome back to Mayorga!
Hey, that solar-powered highway light is memorable to me. Just saying hehe! That is the first one, and this goes all the way to this town's highway boundary with MacArthur.

But I have been to this town's center - on the 2nd day of my being fielded to this region!

Here is another peek at the municipal hall compound again... looking very nice, right?

The munisipyo has its new look compared to what I saw before! But still "era"-looking!

Another proof of the joys of traveling. I got "evolutionary" shots of their town hall!

Hey did you notice in the map I added above (first picture), the good back roads from La Paz actually goes all the way to the town of Javier and Abuyog! I could have used that without passing by the national highway. It's just that I had to meet some officials in Mayorga and MacArthur.

Anyway, let us jump to the next town, Mac Arthur - on my next story, that is!

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

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
