Eulalia Monument in Calubian, Leyte Province. "In 1883 a couple whose wife named Eulalia came to live in Santander, original name of locality. The husband, a fisherman, brought home from fishing a coconut seedling. Eulalia propagated the seedling and she became leader and adviser of the inhabitants and she encouraged the people to plant more coconut: & Eulalia taught also the people to be good citizens & because of her good leadership, the inhabitants decided to change the name of Santander to Eulalia in her honor. After many years, because of abundant coconut trees, the name Eulalia was officially changed to Calubian."

Beautiful old wooden building in Calubian town, Leyte Province. Many of the beautiful traditional wooden houses in the Philippines and around Biliran Province have sliding shutter windows that rather than glass, have Capiz shell windowpanes. The Oyster or Capiz shells have been used in windows even during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines as glass would have been too expensive for most people to use.
