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.
