TACLOBAN CITY | CELEBRATING JO’S MILAGRINA SECOND YEAR

There are a lot of restaurants and coffee shops now in Tacloban City. But there are a few that remains my favorite. Seldom do I go home and I must say it must be a quality time spent for homecoming.

Jo’s Milagrina of Burgos Street, Tacloban City is one of those I frequent every time I go home. The chicken inato is a given at this family style dining restaurant. The garden ambiance even makes it more conducive for celebrations. And fortunately, I was there for the 2^nd anniversary of Jo’s Milagrina Tacloban City branch.

TACLOBAN CITY | LEAF LOUNGE OF IRONWOOD HOTEL

While growing up in Tacloban City, I have never experienced rooftop dining. Simply because there was none to begin with. But today, a number has emerged and have been added to the must-visits of the city.

For two consecutive homecomings this year, I have stayed at the Ironwood Hotel of Burgos Street, Downtown Tacloban City while our home is under renovation.

The warm welcome and the efficient hospitality service they provide was a given. Now it’s time to lounge at the rooftop bar and have a glimpse of the city lights and take a birds-eye view of the structures that surround.

TACLOBAN CITY’S SURVIVING PLACES OF HISTORICAL INTEREST

We are all familiar with the man who uttered “I shall return.” With his role in the Philippine history making the Province of Leyte in the forefront, specifically the municipality of Palo, surely, its neighboring city of Tacloban provides a fair share of the historical era that was.

There are structures in Tacloban City that withstood and spanned centuries for existence while others were newly built to mark recent happenings.

TACLOBAN CITY | REUNITED WITH MY ONE CHEW LOVE

If there is one establishment in Tacloban City that represents resiliency, bliss, zest, dedication and hard work, it is Chew Love. The façade speaks of its character and so as with its owner, a good friend, Coke Young-Go.

With bright colored graffiti and murals that makes you feel transported to an-almost-cartoon world, this one establishment along the P. Gomez Street of Tacloban City is definitely a head turner.

Just before the door closes to the public, the images of chicken, whether live, subject of paintings and installations greeted us at the main dining area. There were a number of diners on a mood for a feast. And there we were about to partake a mini-banquet after hours of being in the road enroute to Tacloban City.

Finally I am at Jo’s Milagrina, after a number of failed attempts of dining due to conflicts of schedule whenever I go home to Tacloban City.

HAS THE GRANDEUR OF THE ROMUALDEZ MUSEUM VANISHED?

The world knows of the historic lavish lifestyle of the Marcoses five or more decades ago during President Ferdinand Marcos’ regime. In Tacloban City, the same has been well-preserved and housed in a white painted building of a simple exterior.

More popularly known as the Sto. Nino Shrine, the Romualdez Museum fortunately survived the onslaught of Typhoon Haiyan and of course, the greedy souls of the looters and robbers.

Even with the dilapidation and tragic traces of the super typhoon on its ceilings, floors and even windows, the grandeur of what the edifice harbors remain.
