Tips for contacting an office
- Find the division that covers your school. A school inside a city with its own division (for example Tacloban City or Ormoc City) belongs to that city division, not the provincial one.
- Call ahead to confirm office hours and whether the official you need is still assigned there, since this list dates from 2018.
- Area code (053) covers the Leyte offices listed here, and (055) covers the Samar offices.
