Skimboarding Tanauan is recognized as the “Skimboarding Capital” of the Philippines. It is told by tradition that Skimboarding was first introduced in Tanauan in 2000, when an American national came to Tanauan to win the heart of a local lass. Since Tanauan is situated along the coast facing San Pedro Bay, the American national started making a skimboard which he eventually finished. However, he was not able to teach the local youths on how to use it since he had to leave back to the States. He left the skimboard and the local youths started to train themselves on how to use it. Young people from Barangay San Roque and Barangay Sto. Nino started making prototypes of the skimboard which were sold to the enthusiasts. It was told that the first skimboarder in the Philippines named Michael Miranda, together with his friend Kim Ian "Dodot" Montaño has made the first local made skimboard, and with their enthusiasm of the sports they introduce and teach the local to ride the skimboard. The first skimboarding competition was organized by Darwin Maceda together with his friends Alexander Cumpio and Nerizza Reynera at Tanauan Leyte Bantay Dagat dated March 31, 2002. Since then, skimboarding started to spread to the nearby towns and later on throughout the country. Currently, National and International Skimboarding Competitions are held annually at the Bantay Dagat Area in Tanauan.

Church of Our Lady of the Assumption The Church is one of the six Architectural Heritage sites in Leyte. It was originally built by the Jesuit Missionaries in 1704 and was turned over to the Augustinians in the year 1768. Father Francisco de Paula Marquez spearheaded the repair and enlargement of the church from 1850 to 1860. He added a transept and constructed thick rock walls at the perimeter of the Church with towers on each four corners for defense against pirates. The Church survived a hurricane and storm surge of 1897. The Church takes pride of its Stations of the Cross made of Spanish terracotta originally made in Mexico. #history#faith#hope#christianspirit

Surge of Hope. A memorial and burial site for the victims of super typhoon Yolanda. The typhoon completely destroyed Tanauan along with many other towns around Leyte. Just to hear those stories of those who went through it really tore me up and doesn't forget what I've experienced also. But even though we experienced so much loss and tragedy, our town rebuilt itself with the help of many people from far and near. Since then, every town has adopted a new slogan for itself, and I think Tanauan’s slogan perfectly captured the spirit of its people, “Each New Day is a Better Day” 🇵🇭☀️ — . .#tanauan #tanauanleyte #leyte #philippines #surgeofhope #typhoonyolanda
