(UPDATED) Tacloban City in Eastern Visayas serves as a gateway to the region and its three beautiful islands: Samar, Leyte, and Biliran. The San Juanico Bridge (dubbed the Bridge of Love), one of the longest sea-crossing bridges in the Philippines, is one of the city's most notable landmarks.
Currently, the Bridge of Love has aesthetically pleasing lighting that illuminates at night, making it one of the most popular attractions in the city and surrounding towns. Other popular attractions in the city include the Santo Niño Shrine and Heritage Museum, Tacloban Astrodome, Madonna of Japan, Kanhuraw Hill, and the nearby MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park.
There are two major festivals in Tacloban: the Sangyaw Festival of the City and the Pintados-Kasasaan Festival of the province of Leyte. Both events are held in the last week of June and honor Sr. Santo Niño while celebrating the cultures of Eastern Visayas.
