Bagacay Point Lighthouse in Liloan, Cebu

glimpse of the Lighthouse

Bagacay Point Lighthouse is situated in Brgy. Catarman, Liloan, Cebu. The lighthouse tower stands at a height of 72 feet in an uphill area overlooking the Camotes Island. It is the famous lighthouse to many people from even outside of Liloan. It is located just a few steps away from the sea, and serves as an important marker for traffic - in and out of the northern tip of Cebu. This serves as a night guide for sailors searching entry ponts in Cebu.

Engine of C-47 plane

We arrived at exactly 7 a.m. at the Mactan International Airport. We were welcomed by Master Luz and friends, and immediately hit the road going to Balamban. There are different trails to reach Mt. Manunggal, but due to limited time, we chose the easiest trail. We hiked through the established tourist trail towards the peak of Mt. Manunggal. We saw the actual spot where the plane crashed, the engine etched in the area serving as its marker. Another cemented wall was constructed with a “marble plate” where the names of the 27 passengers of Mt Pinatubo are engraved.

After 15 minutes of trekking, we reached the Marker of President Ramon Magsaysay. We rest a bit, took pictures and enjoy the scenery. The climb also served as a Birthday Climb for Felix, Luz and Ronfel. It was a great experience visiting this historical site. Afterwards, we then headed to the city for our lunch.
