Brief History about Leyte Province:

Leyte, “Waray” as we called them, is a province in the Philippines located in the Eastern Visayas region, occupying the northern three-quarters of Leyte Island.
Its capital is the city of Tacloban, administered independently from the province. To the west across the Camotes Sea is the province of Cebu.

Two chronological events that people will never forget:

• Leyte is also known as the site of the largest naval battle in modern history, the Battle of Leyte Gulf, which took place during the Second World War.

• Leyte is especially prone to typhoons because it geographically faces the Pacific Ocean. On 8 November 2013, the province was severely affected by Super Typhoon Yolanda (Haiyan). The typhoon, known internationally as Haiyan, and domestically referred to as Yolanda, killed thousands of people and garnered significant international media attention. Leyte suffered similar destruction and loss of life in 1991 from Tropical Storm Thelma. (gcl)
