Philippines VIsayas Leyte

Leyte - Islands of Visayas, Philippines

Leyte is one of the country's historic provinces. It is the site of uprising against the Spaniards and the famous landing of US forces during World War II. This historical consciousness is reflected in Leyte's seal, with stars symbolizing the 49 towns of the province and an alphabet on cross argent representing the ancient letter L. A white cross indicates the second phase of Leyte's development, when Magellan passed through enroute to Cebu; while the upper portion commemorates the landing of Gen. Douglas MacArthur through a perspective of the National Freedom Park.

The capital city of Tacloban is the most important seaport on the eastern coast, while Ormoc City is the outlet on the western coast.

The Leyte Provincial Capitol in Tacloban became the seat of the Commonwealth during the Liberation of 1944.
