Bolusao is the most populated barangay in Lawaan, Eastern Samar, Philippines. It is centrally located right at the east-west Samar boundary. It serves as the premier barangay of Eastern Samar for people coming from Tacloban City or Province of Samar traversing Samar Circumferencial Road. Hence, dubbed as 'The Gateway to Eastern Samar'.
Geography[edit]
The barangay is strategically located in the central part of Southern Samar shore. It is sandwiched between Barangay Guinob-an in the east and Barangay Pinamitinan in Marabut, Samar in the west.
Tourism[edit]
Bolusao's main river, Bolusao River, is part of Bolusao Watershed Forest Reserve and is regarded as one of the most important areas in terms of biodiversity in the island of Samar and within the greater Mindanao faunal region.[1]
There are four waterfalls in the Bolusao watershed which lies within the SINP Buffer Zone. These falls are Amandaraga, Pangi, Amanjuray, and Ban-Awan Falls. Amandaraga and Ban-awan Falls are the main source of the municipality's water system. Meanwhile, Amanjuray Falls is the alternate hydro-electric power source of Lawaan wherein a mini-hydro power plant is existent nearby.[2]
Also, being a coastal town, it features an unobstructed view of Leyte Gulf in the coastal area. Marasal and Olot are well-known beaches in the area and are being flocked by tourists from different parts of Eastern Visayas. Mount Olot, a picturesque hill in Sitio Tabuk, features 360° vista of Barangay Bolusao from its peak.[3]
