I am Waray and proud.
I spent the first 16 years of my being in this beautiful and welcoming Island. And it is such a shame that despite the beautiful landscape that our island is blessed for, little is known about it.
I have always been apolitical on the local government. When I studied in UP, I thought that I'd rather be involved on a national level. Truth is, our province is the microcosm of the political mental viewpoint of our country. The results of nepotism, corruption and political dynasties; the very reason why our province has been stagnated for years.
And I am surprised that there are no campaigns for tourism despite the many beautiful sceneries we can offer.
I hope that in my last trip to my hometown- I may be able to show the world the beauty and wonders of Samar Island
(at the Centennial Airport 6am flight to Samar ;carrying a bag good for 3-day vacation with a little surprise for Mommy-- her Celine shoes)
