    Typhoon Haiyan in November 2013 recorded the highest winds ever over land and destroyed most of Tacloban and killed more than 6,000. However, resourceful Filipinos ensured that by early 2015 much of the infrastructure had been rebuilt and normal life had returned.

    Waray-Waray is spoken here, but many also understand Cebuano, English and Tagalog.

    Daily flights from [wiki=b07c844628c2a9ec3593f4ff4b4f1ec1]Manila[/wiki] with Cebu Pacific, Philippine Airlines, Airphil Express, Zest Air and SEAir take about an hour. Cebu Pacific has flights to and from [wiki=f393dc2e3ce2b863737e1679a436cc5e]Cebu[/wiki] every afternoon and Philippine Airlines serves the same destination in the morning. No shipping line still plys between Manila and Tacloban.

    There are many ways to get from the airport to all over Tacloban City, especially downtown, which is where most of the fun and excitement happens.

    Jeepneys are the cheapest way to get downtown and typically cost ₱10 for a one way trip downtown; for a taxi or pedicab you are looking at around ₱50-100 (if asked for much more then you are being ripped off).

    Early in 2010, taxis now operate from the airport to any part of the city. M Lhuiller Taxi have the most number of units. Taxi service is now available from the hotel to fetch you to the airport or any destination within the city and sub-urban towns around Tacloban at higher cost.For pick-up from downtown hotels in Tacloban to the airport, the standard price is ₱250. More than this amount is above the norm. Be prepared with the exact amount as drivers may not always have loose change. When wanting taxi service at your hotel, ask the front desk, they have contacts with taxi operators and drivers. For out-of-city points, price is negotiable.
  • filter_dramaGet around
    A tricycle is the easiest way to get from A to B. It will bring you to any place in the city for a fare of around ₱9.

    Jeepneys are also an option and the cheapest way to travel all around the city, although confusing at first, it may take you a while to adjust to the directions and the naming of the different sections of the city, if in doubt ask a local; everyone is very willing to help.

    When walking around the city and crossing streets, observe traffic rules as the city imposes its "anti-jaywalking ordinance." For some tourists and visitors who are used to the indifference of pedestrians in other cities in the Philippines, Tacloban could be a different place for them.

    The feel of the city is not as urbanized as in other highly urbanized cities in the Philippines. So every visitor and many locals who come from rural towns ignore this local ordinance.

    Buses and vans of various companies leave from their own stations in downtown or the Tacloban Bus Terminal near Robinsons Mall.

    Get rides all over Leye, Samar and even to Manila and Mindanao here.

    * Santo Niño Shrine Tacloban's most famous daughter, Imelda Romualdez Marcos, built this bizarre shrine.

Upstairs has rooms for each of the family members, while on the ground floor is the gaudy Santo Niño shrine. It still shows signs of damage by Yolanda and the display of all the dusty and broken riches provide the shrine some morbid fascination. 200PHP for up to three people, 8am-5pm.

    *The Leyte Provincial Capitol is a neoclassical building built in 1907. Located at the corner of Sen. Enage Street and Magsaysay Boulevard, the "Capitolio" is the seat of the provincial government of Leyte. It was also the seat of the Commonwealth Government of the Philippines when President Sergio Osmeña came in 1944 with the WW II Liberation Forces.

    *A nice waterfall in the Salvacion Barangay, some kilometers west of Tacloban. A short but nice walk through the forest is required to get there. Ask the locals for Directions.

    *Altogether eight vessels were washed ashore during Typhoon Yolanda. Their picture went around the world as the ships rested in the middle of settlements and roads far inland.

    Makeshift bar in an old truck with kitchen and outdoor area. Nice burgers. Very popular amongst young locals and expats. The first bar to open some days after Yolanda.

    *Don't leave Tacloban without trying their most famous beverage. Tubâ is the regional drink in the islands of the Eastern Visayas which, not by accident, are the second-biggest coconut-producing region in the Philippines.

    Locals climb coconut trees early in the morning with a bamboo container for the coconut sap they'll collect on their shoulders. During the first climb, they look for unopened flowers in the coconut tree and then cut the tip off the flower and attach their long bamboo container that can hold about a litre of sweetish cloudy-white sap that then flows out. Sturdy trees can yield about 4L of sap each day.
    The sap that has been collected from all the different trees is filtered to remove sediments and then tightly covered for the ageing process to begin. A bit like Scotch, the longer the tubâ is aged, the finer and mellower its taste.
    A yearold coconut wine is already good, but those aged three or more taste even better. The Waray call the tuba “bahal” and “bahalina,” respectively.
    Red colouring from bark of lauan-trees can be added. If it's been aged this way for less than about a year, it's called bahal and bahalina when it's older - up to 3 years or so.

    * For nightlife in the city, two hotspots are where the partygoers go clubbing:
    Club 65Hundred at the Leyte Park Hotel is a complex of restaurants and bar while Tacloban Astrodome is surrounded by various bars. Open air kiosks at the Magsaysay Boulevard also offer drinks and foods.
