I think the thread is long gone. May have been lost when the forum got hacked. It was pretty old. Lots of pics of old lighthouses and a bunch of historical information. I wonder if it was Edmundtanso or maybe it was one of the UST architects we have here.

Oh I see, it's your website then...cool. I decided to post it because I really admire the Spanish Lighthouses on the Bohol website gallery. I was searching for more pictures when I came across your site. Nice job. I surely hope restoration is on the way.

@Edmundtanso....If you're planning to updtae your lighthouses site, IloIlo has a number of them, 3 in Guimbal I believe...

I hope the link works
Guimbal, IloIlo Lighthouse



Moro Watchtowers - Originally, there are four structures located in different sites along the shoreline area in the poblacion. Only three are still intact and renovated to its original condition through the Department of Tourism. These are the 17th Century structures used as look-out for raiding Moro pirates. Like the church, it was also constructed through force labor.
