The San Juanico Bridge is the most visited tourist spot in Samar and Leyte. A few years ago, the province captured the world's attention because of the devastation brought by Typhoon Yolanda. But did you know that Samar also hides something in their mountainous and forested areas? These are breathtaking and definitely a splendor of nature’s beauty that needs to be discovered. Some of Samar Island's must-visit tourist spots and destinations are historical landmarks, waterfalls, and caves.
Manaragat Festival
It is an annual festivities celebrated for the whole month of August to pay homage to their Patrol Saint - Senyor Bartolome whose feast day falls on the 24th of the mentioned month. Catbalogan City celebrated its more than 400 years of establishment as the capital of the whole island of Samar; from a small fishing village in 1616 to a promising city in Eastern Visayas. Most of all, this festival is an ongoing call for people to remain resilient despite the odds and to keep moving forward.
