Cape Bolinao Lighthouse in Bolinao Pangasinan 2012

Our first stop on our first visit to Bolinao, Pangasinan is the famous lighthouse, Cape Bolinao Lighthouse.

CAPE Bolinao Lighthouse

Fact: This was the 2nd tallest LIGHTHOUSE in the Philippines built in 1905 by the unity of Filipino, American and British engineers. It was 351 feet above sea level. The lighthouse provides a panoramic view of the South China Sea.

pimp our ride ☺ 

To get there, Manong tricycle driver who brought us to Bing's Beach Resort on our first night in Bolinao offered to tour us on Patar the next day for just 350 pesos. Our 350 pesos already toured us in all the famous tourist spots in Bolinao. I will elaborate on my Itinerary post for Bolinao Pangasinan.

Erky is so excited to ride the tricycle 

It took us about 10-15 mins to get to our first destination.

We were amazed that the roads going to our destination, from a faraway province like Bolinao would actually look better than some roads in Manila. Paved roads in the middle of farms, grassland, trees, thumbs up for Bolinao's local government 👍.


What else to do in visiting a lighthouse? Of course, picture taking.













So why is CAPE Bolinao Lighthouse popular to the guests of Bolinao? Well as per experience, it is the breathtaking views you'll fall in love with. It is like love at first sight.

There is also an old and unused headquarters where you can take a rest and enjoy the warm wind kissing your skin. 🏢










More and more pictures.




















This is one historic site you should see when you visit Bolinao as this is a century-old built. And wouldn't it be nice to know and see a structure older than your grannies?




More about Bolinao, Pangasinan on my next blogs. So you better check it out. An Itinerary is coming up.

St. James The Great Parish in Bolinao Pangasinan 2012

Whenever we go on an out of town trips we make sure we visit a church first before enjoying our tour for a safer and more relaxed feeling. It's part of our family's legacy. So whenever I look for a place to explore anew, I make sure to look out for the nearest church or parish on our desired tourist spot to visit.

In Bolinao, Pangasinan there is one famous and one of the oldest churches in the Philippines that was built 408 years ago. The St. James The Great Parish located in Don Alonzo Ponce, Bolinao, Pangasinan.

The church was located almost in front of Bolinao's Townhall and near the marketplace.

It's just sad that we weren't able to attend the mass the time we're in Bolinao as it was an early afternoon when we get there, so no mass for us. So we just pray for a while and ask for safety for our travel.

The rustic look of this church is so inviting and makes me love our countries colorful history even better. It just feels so amazing that the people from 400 years ago were able to build a structure as sturdy as this one. #WowPhilippines


A golden aged legacy it is.
