Lighthouses of the Philippines: Northwest Luzon

The Republic of the Philippines (Republika ng Pilipinas in Filipino) includes more than 7600 islands stretching over 1750 km (1100 mi) of the western Pacific and separating the Philippine Sea on the east from the South China Sea on the west. The largest islands are Luzon at the northern end of the country and Mindanao at the southern end. As of 2020 the population of the country was about 109 million.

The archipelago was a Spanish colony until the Spanish-American War of 1898 brought the islands under U.S. administration. Japan occupied the islands during World War II (1942-45) and the country became independent shortly thereafter (1946).

The country is divided into 17 regions and subdivided into 81 provinces. Luzon dominates the northern half of the Philippines and includes seven of the regions. This page describes lighthouses of northwestern Luzon, including Zambales Province in the Central Luzon Region and the four provinces of the Ilocos Region.

Filipino and English are official languages in the Philippines. Filipino is a standardized version of the Tagalog language spoken in the Manila area. In Filipino a lighthouses is called a parola; an island is an isla or pulo. Many English maritime terms have been adopted into Filipino, including cape, bay, and port, and the names of historic lighthouses are often retained in their Spanish forms.

Lighthouses in the Philippines are maintained by the Marine Safety Services Command of the Philippine Coast Guard (PCG). Notices to Mariners are posted by the National Mapping and Resource Information Agency (NAMRIA).

ARLHS numbers are from the ARLHS World List of Lights. PCG numbers are the Philippines Light List numbers, where known. Admiralty numbers are from volume F of the Admiralty List of Lights & Fog Signals. U.S. NGA List numbers are from Publication 112.

Lighthouse painted white with red trim, lantern red. Grisel Garcia has a photo, John Willy Uy has a closeup, Ryan Parker has a street view from the beach, and Google has a satellite view. This lighthouse was built as part of a large marina development. There is a bar in the lower level, and the second floor has an observation deck. The owners applied for official recognition for the light but apparently it was not granted. Located about 1.5 km (1 mi) southeast of Kalaklan Point, on the southwest corner of the Subic Bay Free Port, which has been developed on part of the grounds of the former U.S. Navy base. Site open, first and second floors of the tower open. Owner/site manager: Lighthouse Marina Resort.
* Kalaklan Point (Subic Sector) (2)
2007 (station establishment date unknown). Active; focal plane 23.5 m (77 ft); continuous light, white, red or green depending on direction. Approx. 15 m (49 ft) concrete post, mounted on a 1-story equipment shelter and carrying a large lantern structure. Entire lighthouse is white. Kristina Ramirez has a 2017 photo, Elvin Prado has a 2017 photo, and Google has a street view and a satellite view. This is a leading light for vessels approaching the Subic Bay naval harbor.

Capones
1890 (Spanish). Active; focal plane 75 m (245 ft); three white flashes every 15 s. 17 m (56 ft) square cylindrical brick tower, with lantern and gallery, attached to a 1-story brick keeper's house. Tower painted white with red trim. The original 1st order Fresnel lens and lantern have been replaced with a Japanese aluminum lantern and a modern solar-powered light. The keeper's houses and other buildings are in a ruined condition. Jazz Ramiro's photo is at right, Martinez has a page for the light station, Bing Ramos has a March 2008 photo, Teresa Dosado's 2010 photo shows visitors on the gallery, Jerome Alano has a closeup, and Google has a satellite view. The lighthouse traditionally marks the beginning of the northern approach to Subic and Manila Bays. In March 2004 the Philippines chapter of the Environmental Protection of Asia Foundation proposed that the island be set aside as a marine sanctuary and the light station restored by the Foundation as a showcase for its programs. It does not appear that anything has come of this proposal. The light tower has been restored and repainted, as seen in Ramiro's photo, but nothing has been done to restore or rebuild the keeper's house. Located on an island off the coast of Zambales province about 15 km (9 mi) north of the entrance to Subic Bay. Accessible only by boat. Site open, tower closed. .

[Anda (Cabarruyan Island) (3?)]
Date unknown. Active; focal plane 3.5 m (12 ft); red flash every 5 s. 3 m (10 ft) post. NGA lists a "fiberglass structure," presumably a barbell-shaped fiberglass tower, showing a green flash every 5 s, and the Admiralty listed that light in a 2010 notice to mariners. No such structure has been found in Google's satellite view but a 2016 street view shows the present beacon with its red light. A very popular beach resort, Anda is an island municipality on the east side of Cape Bolinao. PCG-0030; Admiralty F2690.5; NGA 14396.2.
* Lucap (Alaminos)
Date unknown. Active; focal plane about 20 m (66 ft); green flash every 5 s. Approx. 18 m (59 ft) slender square white concrete tower with an external concrete stairway winding around the tower. The stairway is painted red in the photo by Phil Alvarez at right and another 2018 photo by Angelic Junel Gonzales. Puyat Ang Gago has a 2019 photo showing the tower floodlit at night and Google has a 2015 street view and a satellite view. Small lights of this distinctive design are common in the Philippines. Located on the waterfront at Lucap, on the west side of Lingayen Gulf about 5 km (3 mi) northeast of Alaminos. Site open, tower can be climbed. . ARLHS PHI-116; PCG-0029; Admiralty F2691; NGA 14398.
[Portuguese Point (Port Sual)]

Site open, tower closed. PCG-0028; Admiralty F2692; NGA 14399.
Dagupan (Gaucet Point, Bonuan) (3)
Date unknown (station established about 1885). Active; focal plane 14 m (46 ft); white flash every 5 s. Approx. 11 m (36 ft) slender square white concrete tower with an external concrete stairway winding around the tower, very similar to the Lucap light. The railing and the sides of the steps are painted yellow. Gerard Castaneda has a good photo and Google has a satellite view. The original lighthouse was a cast iron tower similar to San Fernando (1). It was replaced in the 1920s by a 5 m (17 ft) octagonal concrete structure with a lantern centered on the top. Oddly, the international light lists continue to describe this structure. Dagupan is a city of about 175,000 residents at the head of Lingayen Gulf. Located on the property of a naval detachment on the north side of the entrance to the Dagupan River. Site status unknown. ARLHS PHI-104; PCG-0027; Admiralty F2694; NGA 14400.

**** Cape Bojeador (Burgos)
1892 (Spanish). Active; focal plane 118 m (386 ft); three white flashes every 5 s. 20 m (66 ft) octagonal cylindrical brick tower, painted white, attached to a 1-story brick keeper's house. Portions of the original 1st order Fresnel lens, badly damaged by an earthquake in 1990, remain in the lantern; a small modern lens is mounted inside what's left of the original lens. The original rotating mechanism is intact. Assistant keeper's houses and other light station buildings. This is a staffed station. A photo is at the top of this page, Oleey Lee has 2023 photo, another photo is available, John Ryan Cordova has a closeup of the tower, Wikimedia has numerous photos, a drone view is available, and Google has a street view and a satellite view. This historic lighthouse, with its classic Spanish colonial architecture, is easily the best known and most visited light station in the country; the keepers often provide tours. It had been in dilapidated condition for years and was further damaged by Typhoon Feria in 2001. In 2003 the Coast Guard signed an agreement with Cape Bojeador Lighthouse Development Inc., a quasi-public, nonprofit organization that plans to restore and operate the lighthouse. This effort was reported to be supported by the government of Ilocos Norte province. However, there was a long delay. A January 2010 photo is nearly identical to a 2005 photo. In 2014 the work finally got underway. Ian Carolino has a photo of the lighthouse surrounded by scaffolding, another photo shows the tower repainted, and the photo at the top of this page shows the results of the restoration. Additional "rehabilitation" work was announced in 2017. Located at the northwestern corner of the island and the country 45 km (28 mi) north of Laoag. Accessible by road. Site and tower open. ARLHS PHI-012; PCG-0014; Admiralty F2722; NGA 14000.
