Fronting the port of Ormoc is a PUV terminal complex, where folks flock to buses, passenger vans, and jeepneys that serve not just the city but the province of Leyte at large. If you're keen on exploring nearby towns and cities such as Baybay City, Palompon, Kananga, and even Carigara, this terminal is the place to be.
Furthermore, there are several souvenir stalls that showcase homemade excellence in the form of local treats such as "binagol", "suman latik", and "moron". There are other classic snacks to chow down on before your long-haul trip, such as roasted peanuts doused with salt. During my family's frequent trips to Ormoc, one of my parents would sometimes purchase those delicacies from the stalls, although it has become less frequent in the passing years.
