In May 2008 a tricycle ride was 5-10 pesos, depending on the distance. If you are 5' 10" or more, you may have to scrunch down a little in the side car. It's worth the small price. They even help you stack your groceries.

we passed by your hometown on palm sunday this year on the way to ormoc. the bad road is a spoiler - napabayaan. hope to be back in a year or 2 (sana maayos na daan) and explore more of samar. the east coast i feel has its rough charm.
