Ulot River @ Can-avid, E. Samar




Ulot river is one of the famous river in E. Samar - it used to be the highway of the past when there was no road yet connecting Eastern from Western Samar.

People travel by boat upstream to go to the west and downstream to go to the eastern side of Samar island.

"ULot" refers to the process of navigating the boat against the upstream current using a piece of strong bamboo poles pushing down along the river bottom sand and rocks.
