Edmund I got it to work na, ty.

Sandrin, the Manila Lighthouse , the area called Parola, literally lighthouse, THere's a coast guard station there (in fact some sort of naval station has been in on it for like everal hundred years I think)

Cross del pan bridge, immediately make a right, roundabout to under the bridge, drive west along the pasig, then you'll hit the station, you can look for the Parola there.

Cool thread btw, I think everyone has a general feeling that lighthouses are so romantic and cool.

The newer ones are a bit antiseptic, they're actually smaller affairs though quite efficient. They run on solar and don't need much tendering unlike the old one where people actually had to live there. Nowadays they're just look after it once in a while, pretty soon they'll be using sat and sms to maintain this . Practical but not romantic.

Salamat sa info, i have browsed the website by the way. It has the information i need but not enough. I'll go look at the agencies the lot of you suggested (Coast guard etc). and they say the original plans of some are in the National Library archives, cool noh?:-) And by the way i cut my case studies to three paroles, the 2 in Batngas are quite far, problematic pag site visit, sayang nga eh. If it's any consolation the ones in Capones, Corregidor and Binondo will be studied. Ilocos is an open option pa rin. I need opinions, reactions, sentiments and suggestions. Thanks, i'll report my trip to those agencies after i paid a visit!. Salamat!

good luck, a worthwhile endeavor indeed, just educate us on what you learn,

I've seen the calatagan lighthouse by the way, it's way in the dulo of the calatagan peninsula, as in dulo talaga, past punta fuego, tapos wala nang paved road, there's a number of beach houses there, nice quiet area
