I find lighthouses to be romantic. The lone tower by the seashore not only served as the first frontier of defense against invaders and guided ships to shore but it also implied that you’re not alone, that the island was inhabited. At night, the tower lights joined the moon and thousands of stars to point to sea, gush...gush...

The Philippines is home to mushrooms of lighthouses scattered at most islands. It is also called Spanish Watchtowers built primarily to guard the country against foreign invaders. The lone standing towers still exist withstanding the tides and test of times. But for how long.....

Malapascua Cebu

Bagatao Sorsogon

I’m trying to look for more. I know there’s one in Guimaras, Subic and more in Cebu and IloIlo, Legazpi and all over...If you find other pics, please post it....

Nice to know that mhe-ann. My friend told me a funny thing, that the lighthouse is romantic because it's a Phallic symbol, particulary the ones with luscious forest below....har, har

Manila has one by the Pasig River but I don't know where the exact location is.

Anybody seen it?

I do hope that the clean-up drive along the Pasig River will speed-up. The Industrial plants should be prevented from dumping there and they give up a portion of the lots by the river for park development. Once developed, the property cost will increase at their benefits in the end.

The Ferry System going to Paranaque should be revived also. It's cheaper, air-friendly and will minimize the traffic in Metro Manila. I guess Marikina beat them.

Beautiful. There was a forumer here who did his college project on Spanish era lighthouses in the Philippines. I don't remember who it was or if he's still around but he posted a lot of info on these lighthouses and also posted a model of how a refurbished lightouse was supposed to look like. Maybe other people can help me remember who it was. I wonder if he's still around.
