The Cape Engano lighthouse gets a facelift, the start of a series of restorative works that hopes to rebuild the tower from what is left of over a hundred years of existence.
The century-old lighthouse, built in 1887, rests on the summit of a hill at the northeastern most point of Palaui Island in the province of Cagayan.
A Technical Working Group for Palaui Restoration comprised of representatives from the UP-Asian Institute of Tourism and a team of engineers from the Cagayan Economic Zone Authority (CEZA) made initial surveys on the lighthouse on October 25-29, 2005 and has found safety and cleanliness as priorities in the restorative efforts.
Palaui Island is found in the province of Cagayan, part of the area under the development project of CEZA.
“We are starting work on the lighthouse to make it safer and cleaner,” says Gabriel L. Lingan, CEZA Business Enterprise Service Officer . “We hope to prepare it for nature-loving people to enjoy come summertime.”
