EASTERN VISAYAS is one of the two regions of the
Philippines having no land border with another region,
MIMAROPA being the other, and is designated as Region VIII.
It has six provinces: Biliran, Eastern Samar, Leyte, Northern
Samar, Samar, and Southern Leyte are some of the poorest
provinces in the country. The economy is deeply agricultural
their farming practices in some parts of the region date back to
the early 1800s. Agricultural development has been slow and
highly selective to few pockets of more enterprising (and well-
off) farmers because of the typically rugged interior of the two
main islands, agriculture has been limited to mostly the coastal
areas and small inland valleys.
