Currently, the provincial government is spearheading the promotion of tourism to expose the untouched natural and tourist attractions of the province.

Another city, Calbayog, 1 hour away has 6 flights a week also. This makes it 12 flights a week travel to and from catarman.

Moving here for your retirement or relocation is so convenient.

Transportation is efficient, the civil infrastructures are excellent, and the national road is all concrete throughout Northern Samar.

You may think that we lacked supplies for your basic needs.

Well, we may not have Walmart, Shoprite, or Pathmark here but our market and grocery stores can surely satisfy even the western man's needs.

Ask an expat or a foreign resident in Northern Samar. We have many of them now living here. They like it here. You will too if you care to visit us.

You may think that we are a remote province, far from civilization. Think no more.

Since the Spaniards colonized the country 400 years ago we were among the first provinces to get in contact with western civilization.

Our province is the passage of Manila Galleons, the equivalent to modern cargo ships, to Mexico. Obviously, we are the gateway to the Pacific Ocean. The Manila Galleons passed through our waters. Spanish shipyards were located here and the Jesuits Christianized and educated the locals.

No wonder nowadays, Catarman has 20 educational institutions and has the largest University in the Philippines namely, the University of Eastern Philippines.

Above is one of the schools in Catarman that offers degrees in Nursing, Commerce, Business Management, Liberal Arts and other disciplines.

Financially, we are stable. We are much remote from the muscle of Wall Street but we can stand on our own as a self sustaining province.

We have more than 10 banking and lending institutions. Being the capital of the province, Catarman attracts business and governmental activities that fuels the progress of this town. The National airport is located here. It will be relocated soon to anticipate the flock of tourists.
