Biliran, Island province in Eastern Visayas, Philippines
Biliran is an island province in Eastern Visayas formed by two volcanic islands, Biliran and Maripipi, rising from the sea. The Mount Suiro dominates the landscape at around 1,300 m (4,300 ft) elevation.
The territory began as part of Leyte province before becoming a sub-province in 1959. Full independence as a separate province arrived in 1992 following administrative reforms.
The local population speaks Waray-Waray and Cebuano, languages that shape daily interactions and community life across the towns. These languages carry traditions tied to island living and coastal practices that visitors can hear everywhere.
Rain falls throughout the year here, with the heaviest downpours happening between December and February. Bring waterproof gear and plan indoor activities for those months when conditions are wettest.
The name comes from borobiliran, a grass species that once blanketed large areas of the island in early times. This plant is no longer visible, yet its legacy lives on through the place name itself.
