About Samar

Basey weaves the banig, the tikog mats sold across the strait in Tacloban and well past it, and the same town is the jump off for the Sohoton caves upriver. Samar is the most populous of the three Samar provinces, with Catbalogan as capital and Calbayog the bigger city. The San Juanico Bridge ties the island to Leyte, which is why the two get talked about as one place.
