The Yolanda Shipwreck Memorial Park[1] or the Anibong Memorial Park,[2] colloquially known as the Yolanda Shrine,[3] is a memorial created from portions of MV Eva Jocelyn, a cargo ship which got beached at Barangay Anibong, Tacloban, Leyte in Eastern Visayas. The monument is dedicated to the rebuilding of Tacloban after the onslaught of Typhoon Haiyan of 2013, which is known in the country as "Super Typhoon Yolanda".
