Thanks to the post here / suggestions, and a handy Philippine map, the land travel from Manila to Cebu was not so bad.

Cost roughly less than P11K with gas, ferry, food, lodging good for 2 people.

Ferry from Matnog to Allen Samar
P960 Roro of pickup (free ang driver)
P120 / passenger
P11.50 terminal fee per pax
P258 terminal fee of vehicle
P28 Weighing fee of vehicle
plus people you pass along the way wanting tips for "yosi" like guard, fixers, boat helpers, etc.

The boat left late at night in hopes to get more passengers or vehicles, but no luck for them. No schedules for departing boats, as soon as mag fill up, then thats the time the boat leaves. I was there 430pm, the boat left 8pm.

Just like what sir Ghost Recon suggested, once at Allen, stay overnight at Kinabranan Lodge. Overnight aircon cost P850. Just go out of the pier, turn left and a couple of meters away is Kinabranan Lodge on the left side of the road.

The following day, left the Lodge for Leyte. from the lodge, turn right and head towards Calbayog, . The road from Allen to Calbayog sucks, so don't drive at night to lessen damages to your underchasis.

From Calbayog to Leyte, ganda na ang road with some parts need improvement, but is manageable.

Ormoc was my destination to roro from Leyte to Cebu. Got to the pier of Ormoc around 5pm with stop overs to see Sto Nino Shrine at Tacloban and MacArthur Landing. Ferry leaves Ormoc for Cebu at 10am and 11PM.

Ferry Ormoc to Cebu:
P2750 Ferry Vehicle Charge with free driver
P250 Vehicle Terminal fee charge
P10 Terminal fee per pax
P400 tourist level passenger fee (aircon, sleeper bed); P250 standard level passenger fee. I suggest tourist level if you can afford it.
I rode Asian Marine Transport corp tel #32-233-5733, they dock near Cebu Doctors

I hope this helps.

haha. nice trip po sir and Im glad that you reach Cebu safely. Ask ko lang sana kung how many hours from Ormoc to Cebu because Im planning to go to Negros via Cebu this coming October.
By the way sir, how about coming back to Manila, ano naman po ang route nyo.
