Baybay City Charter Day, observed in the Philippine city of Baybay, recurs every June 16. This special working holiday commemorates the day Baybay was officially granted city status. Baybay is located in the province of Leyte and is known for its historical significance, being one of the first settlements recognized by Spanish conquistadors. The city's name derives from a Visayan phrase meaning "the river flows to Pangasugan," reflecting its origins. Celebrations include organized programs, ceremonies, and festivities coordinated by the municipal government alongside civic and religious organizations, NGOs, and private businesses. The day is an opportunity to celebrate the history and culture of Baybay, which has undergone various administrative changes since its founding in the early 17th century.
