MaasinCity
8.5
Mid score (6-8)
Maasin City is the capital of Southern Leyte and the province's main economic and social hub — it has the Southern Leyte Provincial Hospital, Maasin City College, a functional commercial strip, and the only real concentration of restaurants, lodging, and nightlife in the province. As a foreigner you'll draw immediate attention at the baywalk or public market, and English is spoken at a functional level in most service interactions. The dollar goes a long way here given it's one of the poorer provinces in the Visayas, and the city has a visible contingent of young professionals and students who are more outward-looking than the surrounding municipalities. For Southern Leyte it's the obvious base — just keep expectations calibrated to a small Philippine provincial capital.
