Gamay Tourism Video Project 2019

Gamay, Northern Samar is my hometown and definitely a place where I find comfort and relaxing vacation. The Gamay Tourism Video Project is our initiative to promote our  tourist destinations. Hopefully, this video will help us realize that we are truly blessed of natural wonders and we need to take care and share those gifts. This is also to proudly share to the world that there are small town in the Philippines such as Gamay that worth to visit and to be discovered. 

This town is small but a promising municipality. In fact, it was awarded by the Department of Interior and Local Government the "Seal of Good Local Governance in 2018". Also, this municipality has a strict policy in waste disposal and there are environmental advocacy projects for the community. 

There are available accommodations for the family or for the barkada such as the Marcela Bed and Breakfast. There are resorts that also accept guests. Direct bus trips from Manila to Gamay Terminal (24 hours travel time) or by plane from Manila to Catarman or Manila to Tacloban (with another van ride to Gamay Integrated Terminal for approximately 3-4 hours) are also available. They have "Lubi-lubi Festival" to thank the Creator for the coconut trees as one of the major source of agricultural products and livelihood and they have a version of Sinulog Festival. Indeed, Gamay is ready for your next adventure!

I am very thankful to the team who made this project possible. My stay in my hometown is the most memorable so far. The production team were very responsive.
