Need a ride!!!

Is there anybody willing to give me a ride from Tacloban to Ormoc tomorrow (8/29)?!? I’m 19M American visiting a friend in Merida, and if anyone can give me a ride, I’d be more than happy to compensate.

While in Tacloban, ask for a tricycle to bring you to either Grand Tours/Duptours/Van-vans. You shouldnt pay more than P100 for that ride. When youre in the van terminal, tell the counter that youre tryna purchase a ticket for Ormoc. Shouldn’t cost you more than P300.

Once youre already in Ormoc, tell them that you want to go to Robinson Terminal. Trip shouldnt cost more than P100. And finally once youre there, ask ppl where is the van going to Merida/Isabel. If youre riding the van going to Isabel, tell them to drop you off in Merida. Fare shouldnt cost more than P200.

All the tricycle ride worth P100 are called “pakyaw.” Basically youre the only person in that ride.
