Tunga (IPA: u'ŋaʔ, officially the Municipality of Tunga ( war, Bungto han Tunga; tl, Bayan ng Tunga), is a 6th class municipality in the province of Leyte, Philippines. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 7,656 people. It is the smallest municipality in Leyte, both in population and area.

Some of them even made it their contact point for conducting their business. Through their exchange o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
