Llorente, Eastern Samar

Uswag Lanang... (check comments and pictures at the bottom of this page)

Llorente is one of the municipality of Eastern Samar on Samar Island, the second largest island in the Visayas. Llorente lies along the coast facing the Pacific Ocean 36 kilometers north of Borongan, the provincial capital. The entire east coast of the municipality faces the Philippines Sea that forms part of the Pacific Ocean. Its other boundaries are Balangkayan on the north, Balangiga on the West, and Gen. MacArthur and Hernani on the South. Llorente is highly accessible:

by Bus from Manila:

Various bus companies like Gold Trans, Philtranco and Eagle Star provide both air-conditioned and ordinary buses from Manila, using the Philippine National Highway, directly to Borongan, Oras and Guiuan. The P 1150+ bus fare (ordinary, aircon P 1400+) includes the ticket for the ferry from Luzon to Samar.The trip takes over 24 hours, depending on the transfer time at the ferry.

by Plane:

The "airport" of Borongan was never finished, so the best alternative are daily flights with either Philippine Airlines or Cebu Pacific from Manila to Tacloban. From there continue by bus as explained above. Ride mini buses/van (P 180) are faster using the road along Samar's southern coast via Lawaan taking only 3+ hours. You will not find these mini buses at the main bus terminal in Tacloban but at various different places like gasoline stations so be sure to ask some local people where you can catch them. Duptours has ther own small terminal.From the new terminal in Tacloban there are also medium sized ordinary buses going to Guiuan via Lawaan.

by Boat:

Travelling by sea to Eastern Samar is via Cebu City. WG&A is serving the route Manila - Cebu City. From Cebu City you can can take either Cebu Ferries or the Supercat to Ormoc, from there on to Tacloban and Llorente.

Events:

Every 13th of June the town is celebrating its Fiesta wherein many students from manila and balikbayan came to this very special event others take this oppurtunity for family reunion. I believed that every "lanangnon's" agreed that Llorente is a very progressive town... Uswag Lanang...Uswag!
