Samar Police Provincial Office PCOL ANDRE PEREZ DIZON
Provincial Director Different names (Samal, Ibabao, Tandaya) were given to Samar Island prior to the coming of the Spaniards in 1596.

The name Samar was derived from the local dialect “Samad”, meaning wound or cut, which aptly describes the rough physical features of the island that is rugged and deeply dissected by streams. During the early days of Spanish occupation, Samar was under the jurisdiction of Cebu. In 1735, Samar and Leyte were united into one province (carigara as the capital town) and separated from Leyte in 1768.

Camp Lukban is located at Brgy. Maulong, Catbalogan Samar a distance of three (3) kilometers from poblacion of Catbalogan City. The camp was named after GENERAL VICENTE LUKBAN, the first military governor of Samar during the revolutionary government under the late GENERAL EMILIO AGUINALDO. This name was officially known since the camp existed during the pre-war days wherein two (2) cadre barracks were built for the training of twenty (20) year old male citizens.
