Baybay, Coastal administrative center in Leyte, Philippines

Baybay extends over 460 square kilometers along the western coast of Leyte province, featuring mountains that slope toward the Camotes Sea shoreline.

Spanish missionaries established their presence in Baybay during 1620, leading to the formation of a parish by 1835 and subsequent administrative development.

The Binaybayon Festival takes place each December 27th, bringing together local residents to commemorate the city's patron saint and agricultural heritage.

The city contains 92 barangays, divided into 23 urban and 69 rural districts, with a population of 111,848 according to the 2020 census.

The local dialect Baybayanon merges with Cebuano and Waray-Waray languages, reflecting the migration patterns across the Eastern Visayas region.
