MV Eva Jocelyn Shrine
A cargo ship that was driven by the storm surge of Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) in 2013 onto the Anibong residential area; it has been preserved on the spot as a memorial to the disaster's victims.
On 8 November 2013, Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda) caused a storm surge that swept the cargo ship MV Eva Jocelyn into the Anibong community, crushing homes. After the disaster, the hull was preserved where it landed, with a monument and inscriptions honoring the victims, and it has become Tacloban's symbol of remembrance. Entry is free and the site takes only a few minutes to see, but please behave respectfully, as the surrounding area is still a residential neighborhood. It is about 3 km from the city center and can be reached by tricycle. It is often combined with San Juanico Bridge.
