Leyte is famous for its historic World War II sites and its vibrant fishing communities.

Southern Leyte is known for its beautiful coastal scenery and rich marine biodiversity.

The Leyteño festival celebrated the island's maritime traditions.

At the market, a Leyteño proudly showed us how to select the freshest fish used in his town's famous kinilaw.

Every year, Leyteños gather to celebrate the island's patron saint with music and colorful parades.
