airports, you have to go to the port and ride in a boat.
There are no luxurious bars, restaurants and malls in the area but you’ll be amazed by the Spanish colonial design building which is
now a public elementary school. There is also a fort in the area, it was built to protect and to warn locals for moro marauders that
might go to the island and do piracy. The infrastructure began with the help of Father Nicolas Melo and Father Alonso Colosa in the
16th century but unfortunately it wasn’t completely nished. In the early 18 century, the construction was continued under Father
Hipolito Casiano. The Fort was made of sea rocks that was mixed with lime and 162-sq. meter (1,740-sq. foot) diamond-shaped.
The municipality was the smallest among the others that belongs to the province of Palawan but still, it composed of 31 islands and
islets which has been divided into 2 Sitio’s ( Cavili and Calusa) and 12 barangays. These barangays are Bantayan, Calsada, Convento,
Lipot North, Lipot South, Magsaysay, Mampio, Nusa, Santa Cruz, Tacas, Talaga, and Wahig. The name Cagayancillo was a Spanish
word that means “little Cagayan”.
You’ll be enjoying the beach along with the sunset and sunrise, snorkeling and diving under the water of Tubbataha Marine Park and
experiencing the life of the locals. The accommodations from locals are priceless. The people will welcome you with warmth and
smiles and that’s a big bonus during your stay. All you're gonna do here is enjoy the peaceful days, as there are no signals and
