Welcome to the homepage of Naval, the capital town of Biliran Province in the Leyte-Samar (Eastern Visayas) region of the Philippines. We tread the less beaten path by presenting the unique history and culture of a remote provincial town rather than the usual beaches and nature sights. Through this corner of cyberspace, we hope Navalians in diaspora could bond with their cultural roots and find links with fellow Navalians and their kin in other parts of the country and around the world. Stay around, and have a wonderful time! |
