Basey, officially the Municipality of Basey (/bɑːˈsaɪ/ Script error: No such module "Respell".; Template:Langx; Template:Langx), is a municipality in the province of Samar, Philippines. According to the 2024 census, it has a population of 57,645 people.[5]

Etymology
The town's name is pronounced "Basai" or "Basay" (how the Germans or Pangasinense would pronounce it), not "basÉY". This mispronunciation was propagated by American soldiers in the early days of the American colonial period. There is no "ey" sound in the Waray-Waray language, rather the "e" and "i" sounds are treated separately. Basay is from the Waray word mabaysay, meaning "beautiful".
Geography
Barangays
Basey is politically subdivided into 51 barangays. Each barangay consists of puroks and some have sitios.
In 1957, the sitio of Cancoral was converted into the barrio of Roxas.[6]
