Cebu Province
Off the coast of Lapu- lapu city is a secluded island called Caohagan. When before, Caohagan is a quiet village whose main source of living is fishing, today the residents are earning bigger profits in the art of quilting. As the men thrive on the bounty of the sea, the women are stitching for quilts. Quilting was introduced by the Japanese couple Mr. and Mrs. KaKatsuhiko Sakiyama when they adopted the island years ago. Most of the finished products are exported to Japan where it is sold twice the local selling price. Aside from quilting, Caohagan is also blessed with a rich supply of seafood and scenic beaches filled with amazing marine life. Tourists both local and foreign keep coming back here as the eastside around the island is good for snorkeling and on the other side is best for diving. Although, the prices of these live seafoods and the rate of accomodation in this island are expensive, it can never amount to the peaceful atmosphere and the feeling of seclusion and exclusivity escpecially to the solitude-seeker. How to get to Caohagan Island Caohagan Island can be reached by boat from Marigondon port (fare: P30) or at Dapdap port (near Vista Mar). Should you wish to rent a boat, you can arrange it with the boat-operator at the dock of Punta Engaño for P2,500 (20-seater boat) or P3,500 (60-seater boat).  Source:  Trav Buddy

Nestled amid trees, the lighthouse was built in 1905 by Filipino, British and American engineers. It is one of the five major lighthouses in the country and the second tallest, next to the Cape Bojeador lighthouse in Burgos, Ilocos Norte. It has become a prominent landmark that tourists frequent. The 30.78-meter (101-foot) tower provides a panoramic view of the blue sea and white beaches, offshore reefs and rock formations, as well as rolling verdant hills. Once in a while, a passing vessel dots the sea, an international route of vessels going to Hong Kong, Japan and the United States. The 140-step winding stairway of the tower leads to the illumination room, 76.2 m above sea level. According to Pedro Honrada, the lighthouse’s head keeper, the lantern is visible 44 kilometers away, guiding seafarers (led toward this area by a lighthouse in Zambales) toward the lighthouse in Poro Point, La Union. The late Bolinao historian Catalino Catanaoan said the original light machine was manufactured in England, while the lantern, with three wicks and chimneys, was imported from France. Source:Heritageconservation.wordpress.com
