Eastern Visayas, Administrative region in central Philippines
Eastern Visayas spans across 23,251 square kilometers of land area, encompassing three main islands and six provinces with Tacloban City as its regional center.
The region gained prominence during World War II when General Douglas MacArthur fulfilled his promise to return to the Philippines through the Leyte Gulf landing in 1944.
The provinces of Eastern Visayas maintain distinct traditions through languages like Waray-Waray, Cebuano, and Abaknon, reflecting the diversity of local communities across the islands.
Transportation within Eastern Visayas operates through a network of buses, jeepneys, and ferries connecting the provinces of Biliran, Leyte, Samar, and Southern Leyte.
Eastern Visayas produces chromite minerals and maintains extensive coconut plantations, contributing significantly to the Philippine mining and agricultural sectors.
