Sambawan Island: Biliran's best place to view the sunrise and the sunset

Hill top view deck.
       An islet in the northern part of Eastern Visayas in the small province of Biliran was blessed with beautiful and clean beaches. The paradise was called Sambawan Island. It is within the jurisdiction of Maripipi town in the province of Biliran. The adventure will never be fun if the place you want to enjoy is just a stone throw away. Travel is one of the best part of the one's adventure. 

Calm and clean.
       Either traveling in land or sea one must enjoy the bumps of the road and the waves of the ocean. Sambawan Island was one of the cleanest beaches I saw in my entire life.

     The developer implemented a waste segregation practice which every visitor must comply. They will hand over two bags for the proper segregation of wastes when the guest arrived to stay.. Unlike other developer, Mr. Macorol did not want the island to be famous as it would destroy the island like in Boracay. 

Tents put up in the beach front for a temporary stay.

      The rooms were not so many to accommodate a lot of people. If one wants to put up their tent near the shoreline they can put it up for an overnight stay. The place was safe and secure as the LGU has assigned a police officer intended to protect the tourist in their stay. 

        There were foreigners like Martin Bailey from Scotland who joins the local divers of the island to witness the different aquamarine animals living under the sea.

With the huge smile is Mr. Martin Bailey from Scotland.
        My favorite part of the place was the hill top view deck that let you see the whole island and the wide ocean of the east. 


       The place is perfect for relaxing and swimming. If someone wanted to get away from the internet for a while and surf and explore the beauty of our mother nature try visiting this island. The experience would assure unlimited scenes that someone would realize that life indeed is worthy of living with God's grace and blessing. 

Sunrise.

       The best experience would be if you are with someone who loves watching the sunrise and the sunset and who will never be tired of bringing you up when you are down. 

Rey Conan was my photographer. hahaha!

The various dialects of Eastern Visayas

Image
This photo was taken during the celebration of Tacloban City fiesta last 2014.  Learning is fun especially if you’re interested in exploring new things that come your way each day. One of my interests is learning on how to speak the various dialects of Eastern Visayas. I traveled a lot in the past few weeks touring around the beautiful places of our region. I never had a travel in my college years. It’s all about waking up in the morning, speaking behind the microphone and studying at night. Since I was a kid, I’ve heard people speaking in “bisaya” and I find it very short but sweet to the ears. I found out that in Eastern Visayas, the inhabitants of some towns and provinces were speaking in “bisaya”. The province of Southern Leyte widely speaks “bisaya” as the place was closer to Central Visayas where large numbers of inhabitants were speaking the same dialect. The word “pangga” is short for “palangga” means “loved” is the sweetest among all words I had ever he

By: Lottie Salarda The pride of Brgy Dolho, Bato Leyte, Jesus Menjani Esmani, the first Badjao teacher in their community, is committed to produce more Badjao professionals by helping his nephews to get education. In his 22 years of working as a high school teacher, Esmani has produced two Electrical Engineers, one graduate of Bachelor of Business Administration, Bachelor of Arts in Criminology and Bachelor of Science in Fisheries. Esmani, as the youngest child in the family, witnessed the hardships of his parents raising them by fishing as their means of livelihood. “ If there’s a storm, it means there will no food available for us. It’s so painful to see my family in that kind of situation, so with the encouragement of my high school teachers, and with the help of my siblings, I pursued my studies and dreamed that one day I will have a job,” said Esmani. He sells beauty and food products with his teachers, classmates and friends in school to help sust

"Labyu langga" one of the best songs ever written

Bar owner Mr. Ruperto and his son performing live at Cafe Ruperto, San Antonio Northern Samar Honestly, ever since, it's been my frustration on not learning easily the bisaya  dialect which people of Central, Western and some other parts of Eastern Visayas speak. When I am in a place of bisaya  people, I listened and almost listed all those words I've heard and study them carefully. This month, we, from the local media together with bloggers and with the Department of Tourism visited the island of San Antonio in Northern Samar. Actually, that visit was not my first time. I was with the Zuellig guy who accompanied me to meet the Municipal Health Officer of the town for our Solar Scholars Program last month. I haven't gone to Cafe Ruperto when I visited the island. The place was perfect in listening to the love songs they sing while the night was covered by thousands of fireflies flying beautifully and peacefully. The owner Mr. Ruperto performed for us as he narrat
