 If you find the flurry of Tacloban fiesta-related activites a tad confusing, it's ok, you're not alone. :) With both the City and the Provincial Governments having their own programs (and agenda) for the celebration this year, it's not easy to keep tabs on what's happening on a given day. Thus to give one a sense of what's going on, calle Zaragosa has come up with a consolidated calendar of all activites (hopefully) of the Tacloban Fiesta '08 celebration. They contain the programs of both the Tacloban Sangyaw Festival 2008 and the Leyte Pintados-Kasadyaan Festival of Festivals 2008. So check out this consolidated schedule and tick off the ones you don't want to miss. ;) Bookmark: http://leytegulf.callezaragosa.com/TacFiesta08-Sked.html

 My post on the current Robinson’s Mall development as well as on Gaisano Tacloban’s plans has generated a lot of interest from this blog’s readers. Naturally, our kababayans, specially those currently based in faraway places are just too eager to hear “development” news from home.
I also learned that there are still those who are unaware of the operation of the new Tacloban Bus Terminal located at Brgy. Abucay, Tacloban City which has rerouted city-bound public transpo traffic coming from all over the region. Read/view more...
First I have to openly say this: I am not a maller; neither am I a shopaholic. But I can emphatize, however, with one of the aspirations most Taclobanon’s have had for ages - for the city to have even just one modern, decent shopping center. Or even just a small mall. It will definitely cut down on the inconvenience of having to go to Manila or Cebu just to do some serious shopping. So here's what's happening in our town. Read more...
