Basey Banig and more

The last stop during our 6-day PHILTOA Media Familiarization trip of Eastern Visayas is the town of Basey, Samar.

What really made the Basey banig stand out are its zigzag and geometric patterns which is not usually found in banigs produced elsewhere.

Discover Guiuan!

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.
