Living in Samar
The local people here in this small paradise of Bobon are very friendly, helpful and accommodating. They catch fish and lobsters, climb for coco nuts, pili nuts and fruits, take you out diving and snorkeling, on river trips, guides them to water falls and caves and so much more.
There are Grocery stores, bakeries and hardware other necessary vendors only two km away, in Bobon Town, and many more in Catarman Town, eight km away. Bobon Plaza Cafe and other Eateries here and more than ten restaurants serving good food in Catarman. And approx ten hotels and inns too, great prices and comfortable. Resorts, hotels and inns in N. Samar is approx 50, all in all. including. 6 new resorts at San Antonio island, said to be The New Boracay, where a new airport is under construction now. The completion of this airport will make the area even more desirable and valuable to foreigners and locals alike.
It is 45 minute flight to and from Manila, Asian Spirit. SEA AIR will soon start flights to Cebu and Manila. If you go by land is it one hour by ferry boat and ten hours drive to Manila, eight hours to Cebu, which also can be reached by ferry boat from Calbayog, 1 hour from Catarman only. The roads here at N. Samar are very good indeed. Immigration office is located in Calbayog too, which is a City. Most of us have permanent Residency, which is easy to get, so we do never go there.
The locals here speak Huaray, Tagalog and English.We do have 52 international TV channels by Dream satellite for US $ 20 per month.

"We have no problems at all living here - this province has the lowest crime rate in this country - acc to my Rotary friend and Provincial Police Director Tony de La Cruz.San Antonio island is being developed by my good friend, Congressman H. Abayon. And my other good, close friend, Governor R. Daza, supports our project avidly.
