Alangalang (IPA: [ʔɐlɐŋ'ʔalɐŋ]), officially the Municipality of Alangalang (Waray: Bungto han Alangalang; Cebuano: Lungsod sa Alangalang; Tagalog: Bayan ng Alangalang), is a 2nd class municipality in the province of Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 57,185 people.[3]
It is a landlocked town with an area of 151 km2. It is bounded on the north by Barugo and San Miguel, on the south by Pastrana, on the north-east by Tacloban City, on the east by Santa Fe and on the west by Jaro.[5]
On the way to Carigara is a steel bridge spanning the Mainit River. There was a time when only footpaths existed and the river was far too wide for a leap and too deep to wade in, travelers were undecided what to do. Hence the name Alangalang was given to the town, from the vernacular word alang-alang which means "indecision".[citation needed]
The strongest tropical typhoon Haiyan, more commonly known as Typhoon Yolanda impacted the town on November 8, 2013.
