Limasawa Island, Southern Leyte, Philippines - Beyond History!
Here's our adventure last weekend at Limasawa Island in Southern Leyte! I had a great time spending it with my High School buddies. I hope you enjoy this Limasawa vlog!
The Limasawa lagoon is a perfect spot for someone who loves cliff diving and snorkeling like me! Though I can't recommend it for a family get together because the facility isn't child-friendly. It has a super steep stair in going down to the lagoon. I was worried about my injured ankle but it's okay. hehe!
I highly recommend spending the night at Dak Dak Resort - this one's kid-friendly and the beach is stunning! You can pitch your tents to save money. Water supply is good and the comfort rooms are clean. (This resort can get really crowded so your patience will really be tested when using the comfort rooms.)

Travel Diary: SOUTHERN LEYTE (MAASIN, CUATRO ISLAS, LIMASAWA ISLAND)
It was my first time to visit Southern Leyte and I was completely blown away by how beautiful this region is. My husband's family on the Fernandez side is originally from there, so this trip was extra special for us. I was glad to see for myself the wonderful beaches my husband went to as a child and we were extra happy for Tristan to meet his cousins and relatives and see a different part of the Philippines.
We spent six days exploring Southern Leyte: we flew in via Dumaguete City and took a 3-hour car ride to Maasin, Leyte. From there, it was easy to access the beautiful islets of Cuatro Islas, Limasawa Island and their family farm: Labuon. We ate so well and enjoyed our time with family. Hope you guys like this!

A Place of the First Mass in the Philippines
Limawasa, an island municipality in Southern Leyte, is a small yet flourishing town being the site of the First Christian Mass in the country and in Asia.
Magellan's Cross at Limasawa Island
The First Cross and the First Mass Shrine are some of the frequently visited spots that give tourists a rare experience of retracing the historic footsteps of the Portuguese explorer Ferdinand Magellan in 1521 who paved the way for the beginning of Christianity in the country.
History
“Mazaua” is the original name of this municipality. There are two assumptions how the municipality got its name:
One assumption is that before the Spanish men arrived to the island, the natives don’t really have a name of their place. Upon the arrival of Ferdinand Magellan and his men, one of the natives was asked for the name of their place. The native, unable to understand what it meant, mistakenly interpreted the question to mean as to “how many wives their Rajah has”. So he answered immediately “Lima’y Asawa”, meaning that their Rajah has five wives. The Spanish too, thinking that was the answer to his question, return to tell his companions that the island is named “Lima’y Asawa ”. And from then on, the place came to be called as “Limasawa”.
Another assumption is that when the Spanish men arrived to the island, they named it “Mazaua” for the beauty of the place. As it is their custom to add the prefix “Le” to mean a particular name, it became the tongue of everyone in the place to call it as “Le Mazaua ”. It was the local people themselves who later changed the spelling and joined the two words into “Limasawa”.
Today the island is popularly known as “Limasawa” although some elderly citizens prefer to call it “Mazaua”.
Limasawa was created into an independent municipality on June 11, 1978 by virtue of Presidential Decree No. 1549. But this was not implemented due to some problems. Limasawa officially became a municipality on August 27, 1989 after the conduct of a plebiscite among the populace to ratify its independence.
Tourism
The municipality of Limasawa is one of the areas in the country with high tourism potential being the site of the first Christian mass in the country. On July 25, 1994, Limasawa was declared as a tourist zone with the issuance of Republic Act 7822. With this declaration, the tourism master plan of the municipality was prepared.
Today, with the support of the Provincial Government of Southern Leyte, Department of Tourism and other government agencies, various tourism enhancement projects have already been implemented in the area. The island is envisioned to become the next “Boracay Island” tourism site in the Visayas.
Scenic Spots
Aside from its religious and historic landmarks, Limasawa is endowed with scenic and refreshing vistas of white sand beaches and fish sanctuaries perfect for hiking, camping, snorkeling, and scuba diving. The long white beaches (Dakdak and Gamot Beaches) are located at Brgy. Lugsongan and Cabulihan. Caves can also be found in Brgy. San Agustin and Magallanes.
Its fish sanctuaries with pristine coral reefs are located in Bgry. San Agustin and Brgy. Lugsongan. Relics of giant oyster/clam shell can be also found in Brgy. San Agustin.
How to get there
From Manila, tourists can reach Southern Leyte by riding a plane via Tacloban. Local airlines from Manila have trips going to Tacloban - the gateway to Southern Leyte. Next from Tacloban, take an FX van going to Hinunangan - one of the town in Southern Leyte.
There are buses from Manila particularly in Pasay or Cubao that have direct trips to Hinunangan.
Maasin City is the nearest gateway to Limawasa Island. From Maasin City, the island can be reached through a 30-minute ride to the municipality of Padre Burgos and another 40 minutes banca/boat ride to the island. Maasin City is 2-3 hours van/bus ride from Ormoc City and Tacloban City.

DIVING INTO LIMASAWA ISLAND | BLUE LAGOON IN SOUTHERN LEYTE
Five hours from Tacloban, we traveled to the historical island of Limasawa where the first mass in the Philippines was held. More than its history, the island is rich with natural resources, especially with its vast blue waters. Tourists can dive into the clear blue lagoon. For our accommodation, we stayed overnight at Dakdak beach resort.

Limasawa, officially the Municipality of Limasawa, is a 6th class municipality in the province of Southern Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2015 census, it has a population of 6,061 people. At the request of the residents of the island of Limasawa, the six barangays that comprise that island were detached and separated from the municipality of Padre Burgos through Presidential Decree No. 1549, signed by then President Ferdinand Marcos on June 11, 1978, and constituted as the Municipality of Limasawa. The island, also known as Sarangani Island, is located south of Leyte, in the Mindanao or Bohol Sea. It is about 10 kilometres long from north to south and is the smallest municipality in the province, in both area and population.
