Yolanda Shipwreck Memorial Park
Tacloban · Parks & Gardens
Yolanda Shipwreck Memorial Park is a memorial park built around the bow of the cargo ship 'MV Eva Jocelyn', which was washed ashore by giant waves during Typhoon Haiyan (known as Yolanda in the Philippines). It is located in the Anibong district of Tacloban City, Leyte, Eastern Visayas, Philippines. The park features the preserved shipwreck as its main landmark, commemorating the residents who lost their lives during the super typhoon in 2013, and symbolizes the resilience and rebuilding of Tacloban City. The memorial park was officially opened on November 7, 2015, and although small in size, its striking visuals have made it one of the important attractions to visit in Tacloban. The park also has a stone tablet inscribed with the names of the victims and basic facilities for visitors to pause and reflect.
Historical Marker of the Philippine Provincial Capitol
Tacloban · Landmarks
This is a historical marker established by the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, commemorating the significant role of the Philippine Provincial Capitol during World War II and its restoration history in the Commonwealth of the Philippines. The current site is located in Dulag, Leyte, near the provincial government building; however, the search results mainly point to the Leyte Provincial Capitol and its history as the temporary seat of the provincial council in October 1944, without explicitly providing the address of the similarly named attraction in Dulag. If you are looking for a marker that tourists can visit, it is more likely to be the commemorative sign located near the Leyte Provincial Capitol in Dulag.
