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

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

This initiative of DFA Manila started last July 1 to lessen the long lines of the waiting applicants outside their office.

They just need to go to online by logging in at https://www.passport.gov.ph and follow the procedures.
