- Leyte,_Leyte abstract "[1]Leyte is a fourth class municipality in the province of Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2010 census, it has a population of 37,505 people.Leyte is one of the oldest poblacions within the province. According to Manuel Artigas y Cuerva, \"Hiraite\" was under the jurisdiction of Carigara with Barugo and Samputan.For almost two centuries, the town of Leyte was known as Hiraite. It was much later when the name was transformed to its present form: Leyte.In the \"Historia de Filipinas\" by Father Delgado, the place was said to be already known to the sailors of Ferdianand Magellan. \"Hiraite\" was referred to in the records of the discoverer as a pueblo, which rested on the banks of a river. It was a very old but small village, according to the account. The ships of Magellan docked on the bay at the center of what is now the town proper to pass the night.In 1851, the town was finally separated from the mother municipality. Previous to this event however, Hiraite was already an established parish.When the Jesuits took over the work of the Augustinians in 1595, many of the natives had already been converted to Christianity. The Jesuits constructed a spacious church in 1768 to accommodate the growing parish. A wooden convent was also built at the right side of the church.In his \"Relacion de las Islas Filipinos, Father Pedro Chirino, S.J. relates the eagerness of the natives to be converted. He narrates that during the Holy Week of 1596, he went with a companion to Hiraite. They were forced to land at the seashore owing to the bad weather and had to proceed to the village on foot. \"It was quite providential,\" he said, as they met a very old woman that was apparently very sick, while passing one of the plantations. The woman decided to be baptized. The following day, the woman died a sudden but peaceful death.They made Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception as the Patron saint of Leyte, Leyte who is still venerated and honored up to the present.Leyte was also a victim of Moro depredations just like most coastal towns. Even if the town was protected by Spanish artillery, it was burned completely by the pirates when a heavy downpour made the Castillian guns useless. The pirates entered the town and looted the houses. They captured inhabitants, many of them women, who were unable to evacuate.The death of a moro leader in a skirmish angered the pirates. They put the entire town on fire and captured an Agustinian friar, Father Miguel Perpinan, whom they carried off to Mindanao. Soon after this calamity, the friars abandoned the town temporarily.When the Jesuits returned in 1595, however, the natives were encouraged to return and rebuild their homes.For two centuries the town grew and prospered. During the American regime, the fanatical \"pulahanes\" entered the town. They killed the natives of the pueblo whom they believed were friends of the Americans. In 1897, they visited the town for a second time. However, they did not do any damage but contented themselves with confiscating some boats, which they used to cross over to Biliran Island.Leyte is blessed with an abundance of wood that is used in shipbuilding. During the American regime, the people devoted their energies towards the boat building, which they used to navigate on the coasts of Leyte from Carigara to Tacloban. The town has a good wharf and its rivers are deep and navigable.Leyte is politically subdivided into 30 barangays.".
