Darryl Enabore | kutnahora@att.net | Arlington, Texas, USA (in between Dallas & Ft. Worth) Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at 10:08:21 PM PST As I read the messages below, I am beginning to contemplate of moving back to where I began. Some of my Pinoy friends here in the US are actually in the process of "RETURNING HOME" after so may years of hardwork in the US which is basically what we/you do here. There is nothing like home, really. America is only good if you are young and able but once you are close to being a geriatric or perhaps an invalid, everything changes and it's no good at all. I currently work in a Nursing Home as a Physical Therapist and at a Hospital as an Registered Nurse, I can see how the elderly are treated. It is better back home because family and friends are able to take care of you and still remain in your own house or residence instead of a convalescent center/nursing home. It is getting to be so boring and monotonous here. Life perhaps will never be the same once you're back in your own turf. I am thankful that I found this site with all the photos that I can look at and reminisce the good ol' days. Darryl Enabore | kutnahora@att.net | Arlington, Texas, USA Tuesday, May 20, 2008 at 09:57:54 PM PST I haven't been home to Tacloban/Burauen, Leyte since 1995 (the last time I visited). I miss the city so much. I went to school at Divine Word University for elementary and Sacred Heart Seminary (Palo) and Leyte State College for high school then DWU (for Med Tech)again in college (eventually finished college in Cebu City @ Southwestern University for Physical Therapy. Based on the pictures I have seen, I am beginning to have homesickness. I miss the people most specially. To anyone out there in my high school and college class, pls e-mail me if you have the time.

This is the first time I've encountered a person making erroneous captions of pictures she took in Leyte and Samar. I pity Loida for such grammar errors she did because I am sure a lot of people all around the world will be abler to see these captions which are all grammatically wrong. She is a funny creature! She should have asked someone to edit those captions. I thought it was all her joke.

Jovi | Jacksonville, FL U.S.A Thursday, March 27, 2008 at 07:08:23 PM PST First, I want to greet Uncle Lone Castillo and my cousin Pearl Montejo Gaskins . I was born in 1947 and raised in Tacloban until I left with the Leyte Filipiniana Dance Troupe, with my sister, in 1965. I had the most interesting childhood there. Nothing could compare. I too used to jump off the pier, with friends, among the foreign freighters and domestic ships. I used to bring my friends to the movies, for free, to one of my grandmother's theaters. I remember the sling shot fights with real stones! Been back a couple of times while I was in the USAF, back in the sixties. Got married to my daughters mother in Redemptorist. I must say I don't recognize any of the shots you posted. Everything must have changed!! For the better, I hope. :) Texas Brown | browne@capewell.com | manchester, ct USA Tuesday, March 25, 2008 at 08:49:06 AM PST Hi Guys, My wife is from Tacloban and your pics brought back many memories for both of us. Hopefully we will be going back next year (my third time). All the best to you both Paul and Mylene | Paulalba2004@yahoo.com | Scotland and Philippines Friday, March 21, 2008 at 11:52:23 PM PST thanx a lot Phil & Loida for those awesome pictures. kudos to both of you.. Phil, obviously a foreigner, did a noble job of informing all and sundry, what Tacloban in particular and the Philippines in general, have in store for those who wish to know more about our place - a task many of us Filipinos are not very good of. already, his effort is bearing much fruits, judging by the overwhelming positive and encouraging comments he's getting. those pics ignited rush of memories of the 5 long years i spent in Tacloban during my college days at LIT(ce class '82), now EVSU. yes, the city didn't changed much - thanks to the inefficient political leaderships that reigned my beloved city - but for me it will remain the most preferred place for a vacation ever. we could only hope (sorry, i should say work) and pray that someday, we would still live to see for ourselves a prosperous Tacloban, with all its warmth and hospitality - traits we Warays are noted of - preserved and unaffected by the changing times.

Richard Navales was the team captain of the College of Engineering Debating team and I was the team captain of the AB/BSE Debating team. The school, to some degree, has equipped me with some knowledge to beat the odds of life. Anyway, it is snowing heavily in the east coast right now and how I wish I am in a warmer climate. I miss the sun, the beach, and my friends and neighbors' laughter. Oh well, Tom Bodett once wrote, "The difference between school and life? In school, you are taught a lesson and then given a test. In life, you are given a test that teaches you a lesson". Enjoy the spirit of Christmas everyone. My regards to all of my former high school classmates at Assumption Academy and to all of my former college classmates at LIT (now EVSU). Frank M.

It seems it was only yesterday when I was a student at LIT. Today, when I went to the EVSU website, I saw names very familiar to me,i.e. Richard Navales, Dept. Head, Industrial Engineering Dept. and Eveyn Cardoso, the Board Secretary. How can I forget Richard? He was my formidable opponent in my college years. He was the team captain of the College of Engineering and I was the team captain of the AB/BSE department. How sweet it is to reminisce the good old days.

I was stationed,with the U.S. Army, at Base K in Tacloban in 1946! What a difference a few years make! I did not see much of Tacloban during my tour of duty there. Several of us did use an Army power boat to visit Samar or is the correct term Cebu?

You can see this on a Google Maps bit at http://www.mytacloban.com James Shields | Tacloban, Leyte Thursday, October 18, 2007 at 08:01:24 PM PST It's a very nice place.

If you went to Caligara, is there a clean, economy hotel there ? charley | retiredgranddaddy@yahoo.com | Magnolia Springs, Alabama, USA Tuesday, October 16, 2007 at 03:56:15 PM PST Hello Phil and Loida thanks for the photo's its reminds me again of going back to tacloban, we just been there this september 2007 with my husband, I would say that Tacloban improved a lot, its now clean and I just heard that Robinson Mall soon open up in Tacloban so I cant wait, its kind of sad that we only have Gaisano, I think having more malls and stablishment can help a lot of Taclobano's to improve more in the future. I cant wait to be back in Tacloban again soon. I miss my family who is living in Kalipayan sagkahan. I feel sorry that I never have a chance to see all my high school friends in Leyte National High School, Like Stephanie bato, Lutchie Aguirre, Eclisiastes Loay and many more hope to see you guys when I come back again I would difinitely look for you and maybe we could have reunion and talk about our high school days. Regards, Evelyn from Holland Evelyn Pilapil | evelynp07@hotmail.com | Nederlands Sunday, October 14, 2007 at 01:48:26 PM PST I would love to come and visit this area. I would need a guide, and would like to hear from someone. Actually, I would like for a lovely young lady, and to email me, and for friendship and get to know, then when I come, I would have someone to be with. I am especially interested in knowing how long I would be able to stay, say 6 months? how does one go about getting a long term visa for the visit, and would me my responsibilities to keep the visa updated etc. Thank you, hope to hear from that special friend. Paul Paul Kennedy | paul.kennedy6@gmail.com | Florida, United States of America Monday, October 08, 2007 at 10:58:41 AM PST Thank you so much, Phil and Loida! I've been living here in Cebu City for 3 years now and I really miss Tacloban so much! Although I'm not really from Tacloban (I'm from a town, also in Leyte, near Tacloban), that city is so special to me because I spent most of my college years there, before I transferred here in Cebu. What I really miss most in Tacloban, or rather in Leyte as a whole, are the Waray-waray food that I've grown-up eating, especially LOMO. Food here in Cebu sucks. Cebuanos generally don't know how to cook a real humba, paksiw, tinula, adobo...and so on. I guess we, Waraynons and Cebuanos just have different tastes when it comes to food. When I go home next year, I'm going to take scenic pictures of Leyte like the two of you did. Of course I will also indulge myself with all those food that I mentioned earlier. Hehehe....

My first trip in 1999 I stayed at MacAurthor Resort, then went to Calubian Brgy to meet my future inlaws. I always stay my first night there, but now I have my wife take care of the bookings (shee gets a better rate!) Last year we all road to the air port together and had a Chicked Joy lunch at Jollibee.
