Tacloban City is a premier city in Eastern Visayas and boasts of historical destinations that served as backdrops in the struggle to regain Philippine independence. And when you talk of Tacloban, what comes to mind are the Statue of Gen. Mac Arthur, which you may have seen in various postcards and magazines, and the San Juanico Bridge.
I have featured the former in my previous post and I will feature the latter on my next post but for now, let me share to you images taken from various landmarks in Tacloban City.
You can complete roaming around the city in just a couple of hours. The City Tourism council has an Icot-icot Tour which will take you to various historical and religious places that the City offers. Alternatively, you can just hire a tricycle (like what I did) and the driver there will double as your tour guide. Be sure though that you have gotten a Guidebook from the Airport or the Tourism Office so that you won't miss out on anything.
So, here are some shots I have taken while exploring Tacloban City:
San Juanico Bridge on my next post...
42 took the journey:

Ganda City Hall. It is well maintained.

gorgeous shots! love your shot of the Sto. Nino church---great composition! the park steps, President Osmena's ancestral home---i enjoy each of these photo.
that i didnt had the chance to explore. sa ormoc lang kami nag ikot.
i like the japanese madonna landmark.
good that they retained osmenas residence but i just dont like seeing those tarpaulins on its windows. i hope they get to place it somewhere.
I didn't notice Madonna of Japan when I visited. Maybe I should revisit. =)
Beautiful, beautiful post with great pictures. A lovely city with so many beautiful buildings and avenues.

Galeengg... especially the shots of the Sto Nino Church [blue skies and the stucco church] at yung old Osmena house. Teh details are superb.
I've been to Tacloban, kaya lang hanggang pier lang [a long time ago!] on the way to Dumaguete.
It looks like a great place to stop and see.
Great post.

Wonderful series of photos. Tacloban City looks like a fun place to wander with a camera.
grabe taga dyan yung napangasawa ng tito ko... pero parang wala naman sila nabaablita sa amin na may ganayan palang place sa kanila.. ganda!
They don't make houses that pretty like the Osmena house. I like the facade of the capitol.
Hey, what made you visit Tacloban?
like the white building and president osmena resident. I will look for Tacloban in my Philippines map..('',) nice photos.
Nice shots. This a beautiful place. I haven't been here.
You should try the wake boarding. I haven't tried it only my kids.
Beautiful, beautiful shots. Yours always are.
Is the first and last photo back to back of each other?
I wish they didn't paint the cannon in the fourth photo silver. It becomes invisible in the white facade of the Capitol.
As always, very nice photos!
parang tahimik na lugar at malinis.
syempre..panalo sa kuha ng mga picture!
ang ganda naman nung capitol nila. Napaka-white! Perfect dun sa blue sky!
awesome shots as usual! i especially love the first picture, the colors are so vivid!
I was born in leyte, been hearing this nice places often, good to see this photos hope to visit this someday.
I like that cannon! Btw, what is that last photo? Can't make out what it is!

Wow!! Ganda ng pics.. Buti ka pa you have the luxury of time to travel and take snapshots of the sceneries.. :)
These are sharp images of Tacloban. I hope to go there someday.
Fantastic photos! I have some friends in Tacloban, hopefully I can visit them someday to see the sites you shared with us! :)
Ha! did you know why it was called Icot-icot? Icot is the name of their governor a very big rival of the Romualdezes.
Really nice shots!
