During this time of the year, there are a lot of events in Tacloban City for the fiesta. But at the same time, the local airwaves are hounded by the same issue of festivals rivalry between the Pintados Kasadyaan Festival organized by the Provincial Government of Leyte and the revived Sangyaw Festival of Festivals of the Tacloban City Government.
I don't give a sh** about the festivals. I was more interested with the day-to-day struggles of the people in the streets in order to survive. Tacloban is a small city and there are no industries that can create jobs so most of the people here are into small-scale enterprises, vendors and contractual employees in commercial establishments.
