Libagon, Southern Leyte

Libagon is the home of Southern Leyte's frontier mountain to the world, the Mt. Patag Daku. Libagon is known for its Spanish-style municipal building. It is said to be Eastern Visayas' most Hispanic town. There are some spots that the Libagonians can be proud of, like the Biasong Springs, Pangi Black Sand Beach, Endriga Beach Resort, Uwan-Uwanan Waterfalls, Ruins of the Old Pantalan (seaport) and the old building of the Libagon Academy Foundation, Inc. Libagon celebrates its town fiesta every 8th day of December, the feast of Immaculate Concepcion. Another fiesta that is celebrated by the Libagonians is the feast of the Virgin of Mount Carmel every July 16. These two fiestas are greatly known because of the strong faith of the Libagonians to their patrons and also known for its creative floral arrangement of their "caros" and the church's altar. Libagon is Southern Leyte's swimming capital and one of Eastern Visayas' best places for swimming. The people's main sources of income are copra, abaca, farming, and fishing. It also has religious people.
