with Maasin as the center. Some government offices had already been established in
Maasin on the southwestern part of Leyte govern the area.Before Southern Leyte is part of
Leyte but now it is an independent province as now. Since then Southern Leyte is composed
of 1 congressional District 1 city 18 municipalities and 500 barangay Problem a total

testable and descriptively or experimentally the following are the articles about promoting
Southern Leyte.

the Eastern Visayas Region, neighboring Leyte Province in the north, facing the Pacific in
the east, Camotes Sea in the west and Sogod Gulf in the south. It boasts a total landmass
of 1,734.8 square kilometers, and its terrain features relatively flat land along its coastal

quietly on a plaza on the western tip of Southern Leyte is the monument of martyred priest
Fr. Jose Burgos (of the GomBurZa fame during the Spanish regime). Passing through this
rustic town named after him seems to be uneventful, but wait till you discover what lies
beneath its waters. This where the town gets its drawing power. Sogod Bay, the expansive
body of water embraced by most of the municipalities in Southern Leyte, is an unheralded
underwater world which can spring a pleasant surprise to lovers of the sea. It is habitat to
a diverse marine life waiting to be explored in uncrowded dive sites with its exceptional
reefs, coral gardens, steep drop-offs, shelves, and walls, to name a few..
To nurture this underwater wonder, the Southern Leyte provincial government has
partnered with Coral Cay, a foreign non-profit organization to help locals maintain the fish
sanctuaries, conduct awareness programs on ocean life preservation and clean-up activities
on Sogod Bay’s shorelines.

of the much-awaited zipline, an environment friendly tourist attraction, has become an
added feature of Agas-agas Bridge, the tallest bridge in the Philippines located in Sogod,
Southern Leyte. The zipline extreme sports facility is the typical Public Private Partnership
(PPP) undertaking by the provincial government of Southern Leyte and a local investor,
Edwin Sakdalan, who is based in Camp Sabros, Digos City.It is dubbed as the highest and
longest zipline ever constructed in the country at present. It is one kilometer in length and
has a height of more than 1000 meters. Ziplines have mushroomed in the Philippines. The
Agas-agas zip experience affords a picturesque view of the surrounding thick forest. With
a helmet, harness, and carabiner, the flyer poised like a “superman” takes off from a hill
and gets across the T-shaped bridge in only 30 seconds on the average depending on one’s
weight. It is a gradual descent and slightly winding towards the finish line. The wind
against one’s face is refreshing, which seems like a reward for a personal triumph.
