Paradise Found: Kalanggaman Island
Posted by on August 23, 2011
When I first learned that Kalanggaman Island is part of our 6-day PHILTOA Media Familiarization Tour in Eastern Visayas, I really got excited.
Technically speaking, Kalanggaman is not an island, but is just an Islet. it is still under the jurisdiction of the Municipality of Palompon in the Province of Leyte.

One of the towns we got to discover during our 6-day Media Familiarization Tour last week was Guiuan, Eastern Samar. Most of the time, Guiuan Samar is out of the tourist radar and because of this it only receives a handful of tourists exploring the place.

Ulot River Torpedo Boat Adveture
Posted by on August 19, 2011
This is oe of Eastern Visayas’ newest attraction! Opened only late last year, the Torpedo adventure runs through the Ulot River in the town of Paranas, Samar. The town of Paranas is approximately an our and a half ride away from Tacloban City. The river is said to be the longest in the island at around 90 kilometers in length. With the Torpedo Boat adventure you get to ride a boat that has no outriggers (katig) on it. So you get to experience the swaying of the boat while it cruises the 10.5 kilometer stretch.
