After an overnight stay and drinking session of the team, half of our group decided to leave the place as early as eight o’clock in the morning. We ate our breakfast at 5:00 am and took a quick splash at the beachfront. The tricycles we rented arrived at 7:30 am and we bade goodbye to the parents of our host teammate. Going back to the municipality of Lobo, one thing we never forgot is our stopover at the Malabrigo Lighthouse (known as Faro de Punta de Malabrigo) along the Lobo-Malabrigo-Laiya road. The lighthouse is one of the 24 lighthouses erected in the Philippines during the Spanish colonial era. The lighthouse was designed by Guillermo Brockman and was built by Jose Garcia in 1896. It was declared a National Historical Landmark on November 27, 2006. We are not lucky to come inside the house because it is closed and we were not able to go up the lighthouse. We took pictures outside and enjoyed the peaceful place.
