Leyte, Administrative province in Eastern Visayas, Philippines
Leyte occupies three-quarters of its namesake island, bordered by Southern Leyte, Biliran, and Samar across the Camotes Sea.
The Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944 involved 212 Allied ships against Japanese forces, marking a decisive World War II naval confrontation.
The province maintains two primary ethnolinguistic groups, with Waray and Cebuano languages reflecting the local traditions and community practices.
Transportation links include Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport in Tacloban and major seaports, connecting the province to other Philippine regions.
The region contains the largest geothermal power facility in Asia, contributing significantly to Philippine energy production.
