Abuyog got its name when Spanish sailors came ashore in an early defrayal at the mouth of the Abuyog River to restock their supplies. Swarms of bees were all over the shore. The Spaniards asked the natives what the black creatures were and the reply was “Buyog.” Repeating after the natives, the sailors muttered, “Ah! Buyog”. finally the town came to be known as “Abuyog” to which some Spanish chroniclers repeatedly used in reference to the whole island of Leyte. But Abuyog in the early annals, though grown successful, remained obscure because of the absence of a dominant chieftain. It was Datu Bangcao who had is seat of government in Carigara, who ruled Abuyog. Abuyog is a 1st class municipality in the province of Leyte, Philippines. It is the largest coastal town on the eastern coast of the island of Leyte facing Leyte Gulf out into the Pacific Ocean. It is bordered on one end by a large river and inland by long mountain ranges covered with dense forests.

Guglielmo Piani, apostolic delegate, carried the papal bull from Rome, proclaimed it and erected the diocese of Leyte, designating Palo as its seat and Msgr. Manuel Mascarinas of Bohol its first bishopInside the patio of this church, enclosed by walls of Spanish stone and adobe, is an open esplanade where formerly Fr. De la Fuente kept his stall of fast native ponies, a zoological compilation of rabbits, turkeys, guinea pigs, a huge python fed with live pullets and a dovecote swarming with white pigeons. This esplanade used to be the people’s rendezvous when escaping from marauding moros in the days of the moro piracy centuries ago. It had also a huge well which provided water for drinking during the long months of dry spells. On the aperture on the Spanish walls is an insignia of the Jesuit order, center of attraction of visiting Jesuits when they come to Palo, indicating that the cathedral and the walls therein were originally Jesuit.

The word Tacloban evolved from “Taklub”, a basket-like piece of equipment for catching fish. The city is well-known for its character in World War II, being a foremost base for the US forces and the first town liberated by Douglas MacArthur’s forces from the Japanese Imperial Forces. The city is also identified for being the hometown of the flamboyant former Philippine First Lady Imelda Marcos, whose Romualdez family still commands a large political following in the area. At the time, the place was known as Kankabatok - meaning belonging to Kabatok, because its most outstanding inhabitant was named Kabatok. The change of name came about in this manner: Kankabatok was a favorite haunt for fishermen. They would use a bamboo tray called “taklub” to catch crabs or shrimps. When asked where they were going the fishermen would answer, “to tarakluban”, which meant the place where they used “taklub” to catch crabs. Later, the name was shortened to Tacloban. The capital of Leyte was transferred from one town to another with Tacloban as the last on February 26, 1830. The assessment to make Tacloban the capital was based on the following reasons: 1) Ideal location of the port and 2) Well-sheltered and adequate facilities. On June 12, 1952, Tacloban was proclaimed a chartered city by virtue of Republic Act No. 760.
