Alangalang, Administrative county in Leyte, Philippines
Alangalang extends over 151 square kilometers of land in Leyte province, bordered by Barugo, San Miguel, Pastrana, Tacloban City, Santa Fe, and Jaro.
The settlement flourished in 1596 when various rancherias formed communities, with priest-engineer Fr. Cosme de Flores establishing early Christian settlements in the region.
The municipality maintains 54 barangays with distinct local governance structures, where communities preserve traditions through regular gatherings and celebrations.
The national highway connecting through Alangalang provides direct access to neighboring towns, facilitating transportation of agricultural products from local farms.
During World War II, Alangalang served as the emergency capital of Leyte after Corregidor's fall, housing provincial and national offices for protection.
