Did you know that Leyte is the LARGEST and OLDEST province in the EASTERN VISAYAS REGION? It has a lot of beautiful places to go when you travel there. It also has a history about Gen. Douglas Mc Arthur, where he landed there when he was trying to free the Philippines from the Japanese Emperial Army.
One of the beautiful places I want to go after I finish college is Leyte. There are good places to visit in Leyte and one of that is located in Palompon. This Island has fine sands and although it is not exactly as fine as Boracay, it is close and it is new paradise. When you visit here you get sort of exclusivity because they only cater 50 tourists in their island that only long for 3 days no furthermore.
There are two ways to get in Leyte; easy but pricey, longer time to travel but cheap. The first one or the easy one is through air. From Robinson Mall Antipolo ride a bus to Robinsons Galleria that costs 50 pesos, Robinsons Galleria to NAIA Terminal 2 with 190 pesos through bus and MNL Airport to TAC Airport, then take a taxi to Tacloban City and ride a bus again to Leyte. When you get there you know that the Palompon Island is near, you just have to take a Van to Palompon and take a ride on a boat.
The second way to get in there is through land. Take a ride in Antipolo Simbahan to Cubao that costs 50 pesos and find the terminal of Cubao Silver Star Bus to Leyte that will take 26 hours and 4 minutes and will costs 1,651 pesos.
Thank you and have a safe travel everyone!
