The construction of
Cape Engaño Lighthouse started on 21 September 1888 and was completed on 31 December 1892. Like other lighthouses, its primary function is to serve as a guide to the sea vessel navigators who are crossing the Babuyan Channel. According to the Jamorabon family, who served as the caretakers for a long time, the name Engaño was given by the Spaniards because they were stunned by its natural beauty when they first set foot on the cape. Today, it still serves as a guide to seafarers and local fishermen. There's a spot on the tower where Dos Hermanas Island can be seen, which serves as an amazing backdrop.
