The ultramodern city is said to be located in the province of Samar. It is also designated as a barangay of Pagsanghan, Samar and Gandara, Samar.

Paranormal claims

A small number of people claim to have seen the city. Some seafarers have claimed to have seen a "dazzling city of light" on moonless nights, for a few minutes. According to folk stories, most of the people who claim to have seen the city have been the victims of demon possessions.

There were reports of satellite images from a Japanese company that allegedly show brightly lit tracts of lands in the region, which led the Japanese to believe that there are rich deposits of gold and uranium in the suspected area. They began work immediately, setting up a large work site in the town of San Jorge, but mysterious accidents and mishaps plagued the project from the start, forcing the Japanese company to shut down operation and abandon the project completely in an effort to avoid bankruptcy and cut their losses.

Some folktales said that Biringan is a Place where a Massacre had took place somewhere in an Old Church Ruins and only Females were left alive, "White Ladies" as told where the Females massacred too in that event.
