I have a detailed itinerary that should have been followed if not for that airport problem. And because I was not able to fly last Saturday, I was left with only 24 hours to stay in Tacloban. And all Sundat afternoon is blocked for the Sangyaw Festival. And because of the very very tight schedule, I was left with only two tourist spots to visit: The San Juanico Bridge and the Santo Niño Shrine.

The Sangyaw Festival is successful. Tacloban’s main thoroughfares are lined with so many people eagerly awaiting for the dancers to parade theit colorful costumes.

It’s just so bad that I really dont have so much time to explore the other sites Leyte is known for, or even taste the Flavors of Waray.
