The Feast of Tabernacles and the Eighth Day 2026 for Visayas, Philippines will be held at Visayas State University (VSU), a premier educational institution located in Baybay City at the western side of the Leyte Island. The campus covers over 1,000 hectares of fertile land flanked by a high mountain range which is dominated by Mount Pangasugan on its eastern side and the Camotes Sea on the west.
The university has its own resort and room accommodations along with a spacious function hall that can accommodate 200-250 people which will be used for services and other activities. Other amenities include a swimming pool, mini zoo, wide playing areas, and several sports facilities; with all these, VSU offers a serene place that is well-suited for the occasion where brethren can gather in celebration of Jesus Christ’s coming millennial reign on earth.
