Eastern Visayas or Region VIII is composed of the main Islands of Leyte, Biliran, and Samar joined by the famous 2.7 kilometers San Juanico Steel Bridge (Leyte – Samar) spanning across the San Juanico Strait. It is composed of six (6) provinces, namely, Leyte, Southern Leyte, Biliran, Samar (Western Samar), Eastern Samar and Northern Samar, one highly urbanized city, one independent component city, five component cities, 136 municipalities and 4,390 barangays. The highly urbanized city of Tacloban is the Eastern Visayas Regional Center (EVRC). The provinces and cities occupy the easternmost islands of the Visayas group of islands.

Eastern Visayas is one of the three regions situated in the middle of the Philippines and serves to link the islands of Luzon and Mindanao

through the National Maharlika Highway that runs through it. It is bounded on the east and north by the Leyte Gulf, Philippine Sea and the Pacific Ocean with the San Bernardino Strait separating Samar island from southeastern Luzon; on the west by the Maqueda Bay, Camotes and Visayan seas, and on the south by the Bohol Sea with the Surigao Strait separating Leyte island from northwestern Mindanao.

It has a total land area of 2,225,343 hectares or 7.2% of the country’s total land area.

The region's sea and inland waters are rich sources of salt and fresh water fish and other marine products. It is one of the fish exporting regions of the country. There are substantial forest reserves in the interiors of the islands. Its mineral deposits include chromite, uranium (in Samar), gold, silver, manganese, magnesium, bronze, nickel, clay, coal, limestone, pyrite and sand and gravel.

Eastern Visayas is primarily an agricultural region with rice, corn, coconut, sugarcane and banana as its major crops. Primary sources of revenue are manufacturing, wholesale and retail trade and services. Mining, farming, fishing and tourism contribute significantly to the economy. Manufacturing firms include mining companies, fertilizer plants, sugar central, rice and corn mills and other food processing plants. Tacloban is the hub of investment, trade and development in the region.

Other industries include coconut oil extraction, alcohol distilling, beverage manufacture and forest products. Home industries include hat and basket weaving, metal craft, needlecraft, pottery, ceramics, woodcraft, shell craft and bamboo craft.


II. LAND AREA AND MINERAL POTENTIAL

The region has a total land area of 2,225,343 hectares. The total area covered by approved mining rights is only 2% or 46,712.5217 hectares of the total land area of the region.

It is important to note that out of the region’s total land area, only 0.07% or 1,500 hectares are covered by operating mines out of 46,712.5217 approved mining rights.

IV. ECONOMIC CONTRIBUTION

Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP)

The Mining and Quarrying sector contributed for PhP134 million or 0.9% of the total GRDP of the Region. The manufacturing sector led the accounting with Php 3.07 billion or 19.5 % contribution. The total GRDP of Eastern Visayas for 2018 was PhP 15.80 million.

GRDP is the aggregate of gross value added (GVA) of all resident producer units in the region. Addition of the GRDP of all regions will yield the Gross Domestic Product.
