Description

Tacloban City is located in the eastern part of the Philippines, specifically on Leyte Island. It is the capital of the province of Leyte and serves as a significant economic and cultural center in the region. The city is also known for its scenic coastal views and rich historical background, particularly its role during World War II.

The city is home to several notable landmarks, including the San Juanico Bridge, which connects the islands of Leyte and Samar.
