Lighthouseedit
According to the Faros Españoles de Ultramar, Tanguingui was one of the 27 major lighthouses of the Philippines during the Spanish occupation of the Philippines.[5] In 1903, the US government built a 45-foot-high (14 m) lighthouse on Tanguingui.[6] The current lighthouse is a black steel structure 113 feet (34 m) high.[7]
