This lighthouse is one of those many lighthouses erected during the Spanish time all over the Philippines. It's light is a beacon to the ships in the busy Verde Island Passage and yes, it's still functional until today just like the Cape Bojeador Lighthouse in Ilocos Norte. Located in Malabrigo, the last barangay of Lobo and just along the road going to San Juan, Batangas. This white, century old architecture stood proud together with it's pavilion and machine room. This is also a National Historical Landmark.
You may want to venture at the front left side of its ground and there's a long and winding staircase which leads to the shore below. It's a kilometer long, soft pebbled beach with enticing waters. Swimming is not allowed without informing the barangay authorities. But having the beach all to yourself in a lazy afternoon is totally paradise.
