  • Southern Leyte is a province of the Philippines located in the Eastern Visayas region. Maasin City is the capital of the province. Southern Leyte was once a sub-province of Leyte before it was divided from the latter. Limasawa, an island to the south is part of the province where the first Christian mass was held and is said to be the birthplace of Christianity in the Philippines. The province ranks as the second least populated area in the region. According to 2007 census, the province has a population of 390,847 a 1.13% growth compared to last 2000 census with a population record of 360,160. Southern Leyte's geological features created several issues in the province after the flooding of Subangdaku River and the awful mudslide in Guinsaugon. Organizations warned the province as susceptible to natural occurrences like landslides and floodings. Southern Leyte contributes to the economy of the country. It forms an important part of the inter-island transportation system of the country, with ferries transporting people and goods between Liloan and Surigao del Norte in Mindanao. The province is well known for its quality abaca products and the country's major producer of abaca fiber.

  • 南レイテ州（Province of Southern Leyte）は、フィリピン中部東ヴィサヤ地方（Eastern Visayas, Region VIII）に属している州である。 レイテ島の南部の4分の1を占める。北は同じレイテ島のレイテ州、南はスリガオ海峡を挟んでミンダナオ島・カラガ地方のスリガオ・デル・ノルテ州、西はカニガオ海峡を挟んで中部ヴィサヤ地方のボホール州と隣接している。面積は1,734.8km²、人口は360,160人（2000年）、州都はマーシン（Maasin）である。 州の自治体は18の町と1つの市（マーシン市）からなる。かつてはレイテ州の一部だったが、州都タクロバンから島全体を管轄することが難しかったため州を二つに分ける提案がなされた。フィリピン国会で1959年に南レイテ州の創設を決める法案（Republic Act 2227）が通過し、1960年に州が発足した。
