BRIEF HISTORIC L B CKGROUND
In
PROVINCE OF LEYTE
CAPITAL: Tacloban
LAND AREA: 6,268.3 sq. km.
TEL. AREA CODE: 053
NO. OF MUNICIPALITIES: 43
ZIP CODE: 6500
Leyte has a colourful history. Leyteños, like the Samareños when it comes to their
province, like to point out of that their forebear were among the first to welcome the
Spaniards but they were also among the first to resist the invaders. Leyte was one of the
provinces where the early seeds of nationalism were
In 1521, Magellan sailed from the island of Homonhon, Samar to the island of
Limasawa, Leyte, entered into a blood compact with Rajah Kolambu. On Eastern Sunday,
March 31, of that year, was celebrated the First Mass in the Philippines. Some historical
researchers, however, are now disputing this.
The next century witnessed a religious uprising lead by Bancao, the Limasawa chief,
and his high priest, Pagail. The revolt began in Carigara and spread to neighboring towns
before it was quelled. 27 years after the 1622 uprising, another revolt hit Leyte - an offshoot
of the Sumoroy rebellion then simmering in Samar. And in the center of the disturbances, the
village of Bacor, rebels burned the church and its convent.
By 1768, Leyte, now separated from Samar, became a politico-military province. The
set up continued until the end of Spanish rule, when Gen. Vicente Lukban took over Leyte and
Samar in the name of the Revolutionary Government.
On October 20, 1944, Gen. Mac Arthur, at the head of the largest US fleet of transport
and warships, and accompanied by Commonwealth President Sergio Osmeña and Gen Carlos
P. Romulo, landed on Palo, Leyte to reclaim the Philippines from the Japanese.
On May 22, 1959, the province was divided into Leyte and southern Leyte.
"Waray" is generally spoken by the people of Leyte except those who live in the western side
who generally speak Cebuano.

Sto. Niño Shrine The Sto. Niño Shrine
and heritage
museum is one of the
29 presidential rest
houses that the late
president FerdinandMarcos built during
his term. It is said
that former lady
Imelda Romualdez
Marcos had it
constructed as the

residence in Tacloban
City. (1979-1981)
Located adjacent to
People's Center,

items.
he Museum consists
of 13 rooms, each
housing different
objects and relics,
arranged according
to certain themes.
There are also
several precious art
paintings, rangingfrom religious
images,
depictions about
Filipino mythology
and classical pieces
by Fernando
Amorsolo.
After the tour, I’ve
realized that the Sto.
Niño Shrine is not
really a shrine. A
shrine should be
place for pilgrimagesand worship.
Needless to say, this
is just a mansion that
screams maesty,
flamboyance and
ostentatious lifestyle
of the first family.

I conclude that Leyte is a very rich province in terms of
Historical places. By these, one cannot regret in coming to the
place again because the site (historical) really make you proud of
how Filipinos are so talented and brilliant to restore such placesto be visit upon.
As a suggestion, they should continue in restoring the
places. They can put donation boxes as a simple help and aside
from that, If possible, they must lessen their entrance fees so
that everyone will be given a chance to visit it.
