Coming from an hour flight from Manila via PAL to Tacloban City, I found myself meeting two virtual friends who became reality at around 11 AM on July 1, 2012.
 |
| With friends Keith of Tacloban City and Ormoc City’s Ephraim |
|
| Sizzling Bangus with Rice only at Php 51 per order at Open Rice Restaurant, Tacloban City |
After a quick breakfast at a local restaurant for Php 51 each, we wasted no time in roaming around the city amidst the looming dark sky and heavy rains.
 |
| Leyte Provincial Capitol. A storm is brewing right ahead. |
 |
| Flags flying free |
 |
On the very steps of Leyte Provincial Capitol is where Pres. Sergio Osmeña
was inducted into presidency |
 |
| Sto. Niño Parish Church |
 |
| Church interiors |
 |
| Belfry |
 |
| An old mirror at the People’s Center and Public Library just beside the Sto, Niño Shrine and Romualdez Musuem |
 |
Curious as a cat, I slipped behind those old draperies on stage,
greeting me were the former first couple’s painting on the wall |
 |
This photo mosaic will greet you at the hotel lobby.
Looking closely, these shows various local celebrities visiting the place |
 |
The colorful hotel is located at P. Paterno Street, Tacloban City. For hotel reservations, you can reach them

| The upper floors showcase photographs of Tacloban and surrounding areas during the second world war period |
 |
| My friends Keith and Ephie |
 |
| This building served as temporary capitol during WWII |
 |
| I just love anything antique |
 |
When we dropped by here, it was at lunch time, the staff was on break
With a little coaxing and pleading, matched with a cute, warm smile, we were allowed in early by the kind guard on duty |
 |
| Window to my soul? |
 |
| Memories of the past |
 |
| Capping the day at a local cool cafe |
