Palo, Leyte, Philippines

Palo, our oldest sister city, is on the beautiful island of Leyte and includes 33 outlying villages. Palo is the site of the 1944 landing of General MacArthur and the Allied Troops that launched the liberation of the Philippines. Palo and Palo Alto have been sister cities since 1963.

Neighbors Abroad has been very successfully sponsoring a Children's Library in Palo. Every year many books are collected in Palo Alto and sent to the library managed by our dedicated librarians Rebecca Maglinte and Sheilane Calab. The library is one of the few in the Philippines that allows children to check out books and return them. We are proud of the sense of responsibility our librarians promote in children.
