The top tourist spot and destination in Southern Leyte is Maasin Cathedral, a catholic place of worship in Maasin City. It was originally built in 1700 by the Jesuit priests; however, it was severely damaged because of the Moro’s rebels. The bricks and the mosses on the façade give an older and a unique look which is perfect for the modern selfies. This cathedral is definitely one of historical pillars in the province. Since it is situated in front of the plaza and a few meters away from the City hall, it is one of the busiest area in city.
Aside from Maasin Cathedral, you can also visit Maasin City Zoo, Camp Danao, Hapitan Beach which is a Mangrove haven in Brgy. Manhilo, Sto. Nino Shrine, Abiera Museo D’ Art, Jalleca Hills Shrine, Hanginan Shrine, Cagnitoan Falls, Guinsuhotan Cave, and the Lonoy Cave.
HOW TO GET TO MAASIN CATHEDRAL: My Day 5 started at Ulan-Ulan Falls and Tinago Falls in Biliran. Then, a van ride bound for Ormoc City. Had my lunch for less than twenty minutes and proceeded to the central terminal by the port and rode in a van to Maasin City.
Via Air: from any part of the country, the nearest airports are those in Tacloban City and Ormoc City where you can also take a ride to Maasin City. Highways are concrete and polished. Mode of transportation in the city is habal-habal and tricycle.
WHERE TO STAY: GV Hotel is one of the cheapest hotels in Maasin, Southern Leyte, it just a walking distance from Maasin Cathedral and Jollibee.
