    I'm from Leyte and geography happens to be one of my fields of interest. I'm so sure this place is not Cabacungan, Allen because Allen is located in Northern Samar, not Leyte. This place that's wrongly marked as Cabacungan, Allen is actually Babatngon, Leyte.

    I'm from Calbayog City and 100% sure that it is not Brgy Cabacungan, Allen N. Samar. That place is located in Northern Samar and the one tagged is somewhere in leyte.
