So the #MissUniverse PH candidates have been touring my home province - #Leyte #Samar #EasternVisayas - in the last couple days. Hope they can raise awareness on how poor and sad the roads are, especially in Samar. Sure, they can choose to see the situation with a silver lining (aka the #SanJuanicoBridge). But they should realize that the roads to and from the bridge and going to the nearby resorts and tourist attractions should be fixed (and well lit at night) so that it's safe to travel. 😂

"#SAMAR, Philippines – Starting this month, international luxury cruise ships will be making their way to Eastern Visayas, according to the Department of Tourism on Monday, February 6.

The arrival of these vessels, which was temporarily halted due to the #COVID19 health crisis, marks a return to sailing for the #Philippines’ beach and island destinations."
