Samar (province)

Samar (province) participates in 41 Bunkabop connections with 3424 other places across 7 topics, with the bulk of ties falling under religion and government. The province shares many connections with Eastern Samar and Northern Samar, reflecting the 1965 plebiscite that split undivided Samar into three separate provinces. Its history topics trace to Spanish colonial rule, including Queen Isabella II of Spain's 1841 royal decree formally declaring it a province. Connections also extend to Typhoon Haiyan, which struck on November 8, 2013.
