Northern Samar

Northern Samar connects through 80 Bunkabop connections with 3171 other places across 13 topics, centered on nature, religion, governance, and language. The province was carved from Samar island by a 1965 plebiscite, dividing it into three parts, each with its own Catholic diocese. Its strongest ties run to the Philippines nationally and to Manila, with a substantial cluster also linked to China and Japan. Waray-Waray, the main lingua franca of the province, anchors its language connections.
