Biliran, Island province in Eastern Visayas, Philippines
The province consists of two volcanic islands, Biliran and Maripipi, with Mount Suiro reaching an elevation of 1,301 meters above sea level.
Founded as a sub-province of Leyte in 1959, Biliran gained full provincial status in 1992 through Republic Act 7160, marking its administrative independence.
The population of 179,312 residents communicates primarily in Waray-Waray and Cebuano languages across 132 barangays within eight municipalities.
The province maintains continuous rainfall patterns throughout the year, with the heaviest precipitation occurring between December and February.
The name derives from borobiliran, a grass species that covered the island extensively during its early documented history.
