Here are some previously unpublished pictures of the road conditions, from my recent trips from Calbayog to Catbalogan. Before I get started with the pictures, though, I want to appologize [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I made 1 more trip from Calbayog to Catbalogan and back. This time I took an airconditioned bus.
