BRIEF HISTORIC L B CKGROUND

In

CAPITAL: Tacloban

LAND AREA: 6,268.3 sq. km.

TEL. AREA CODE: 053

NO. OF MUNICIPALITIES: 43

Leyte has a colourful history. Leyteños, like the Samareños when it comes to their

province, like to point out of that their forebear were among the first to welcome the

Spaniards but they were also among the first to resist the invaders. Leyte was one of the

provinces where the early seeds of nationalism were

In 1521, Magellan sailed from the island of Homonhon, Samar to the island of

Limasawa, Leyte, entered into a blood compact with Rajah Kolambu. On Eastern Sunday,

March 31, of that year, was celebrated the First Mass in the Philippines. Some historical

researchers, however, are now disputing this.

The next century witnessed a religious uprising lead by Bancao, the Limasawa chief,

and his high priest, Pagail. The revolt began in Carigara and spread to neighboring towns

before it was quelled. 27 years after the 1622 uprising, another revolt hit Leyte - an offshoot

of the Sumoroy rebellion then simmering in Samar. And in the center of the disturbances, the

village of Bacor, rebels burned the church and its convent.

By 1768, Leyte, now separated from Samar, became a politico-military province. The

set up continued until the end of Spanish rule, when Gen. Vicente Lukban took over Leyte and

Samar in the name of the Revolutionary Government.

On October 20, 1944, Gen. Mac Arthur, at the head of the largest US fleet of transport

and warships, and accompanied by Commonwealth President Sergio Osmeña and Gen Carlos

P. Romulo, landed on Palo, Leyte to reclaim the Philippines from the Japanese.

On May 22, 1959, the province was divided into Leyte and southern Leyte.

"Waray" is generally spoken by the people of Leyte except those who live in the western side

who generally speak Cebuano.

Sto. Niño Shrine The Sto. Niño Shrine

and heritage

museum is one of the

29 presidential rest

houses that the late

president FerdinandMarcos built during

his term. It is said

that former lady

Imelda Romualdez

Marcos had it

constructed as the

first family’s

residence in Tacloban

City. (1979-1981)

Located adjacent to

People's Center,

he Museum consists

of 13 rooms, each

housing different

objects and relics,

arranged according

to certain themes.

There are also

several precious art

paintings, rangingfrom religious

images,

depictions about

Filipino mythology

and classical pieces

by Fernando

Amorsolo.

After the tour, I’ve

realized that the Sto.

Niño Shrine is not

really a shrine. A

shrine should be

place for pilgrimagesand worship.

Needless to say, this

is just a mansion that

screams maesty,

flamboyance and

ostentatious lifestyle

of the first family.

GENERALIZATION



13 | P a g e

I conclude that Leyte is a very rich province in terms of

Historical places. By these, one cannot regret in coming to the

place again because the site (historical) really make you proud of

how Filipinos are so talented and brilliant to restore such placesto be visit upon.

As a suggestion, they should continue in restoring the

places. They can put donation boxes as a simple help and aside

from that, If possible, they must lessen their entrance fees so

that everyone will be given a chance to visit it.
