Bolinao Lighthouse The word Bolinao is a term used for the name of the town, the people, and the language. HUNDRED The Bolinao people generally speak Pangasinan, Ilocano, Tagalog, and their own unique native language called Bolinao, which is also used in a nearby town, Anda --- former barangay of the Bolinao town. The Bolinao language is closely related to Sambalic. Bolinao was part of the province of Zambales from mid-18th and was turned over to Pangasinan in 1903. Most people generally understand and speak English because of the annual visit of local and foreign tourists in the different bodies of water in the town including beaches, falls, caves, river, and other protected sanctuaries which are prohibited areas for tourists. The Mother Tongue Policy of the DepEd is enforced in the elementary schools of these barangays to empower the native languages in town. Bolinao Lighthouse The Cape Bolinao Lighthouse at Patar rises 351 feet (107 m) above sea level atop Punta Piedra Point, a towering hill of solid rock which is the sharp point of Cape Bolinao itself.

It was built by the Americans in 1903 on a 351 feet (107 m) high promontory at the western part of Cape Bolinao, the lighthouse still sends signals to vessels passing by the area. The lighthouse provides a panoramic view of a portion of the 1,269 hectare Cape Bolinao Dendro Thermal Ipil-Ipil Plantation on a land area where archaeological excavations have revealed relics from the 14th to the 15th centuries. Filipino, British and American engineers constructed the lighthouse in 1905. According to the Bureau of Geodetic Surveys, the land elevation is 250 feet (76 m). Visibility is 20 miles (32 km; 17 nmi) at midsea towards the lighthouse in Poro Point. The winding stairway has 6 platforms with 20 steps or rungs for a total of 120 steps plus 14 more to the illumination room, or an over-all total of 134 steps. Bolinao Falls A waterfall was something Active Boating & Watersports least expected to see when we visited Bolinao with the Department of Tourism. In my travel experience with the magazine, most falls we have encountered were found in mountainous areas where waters are expected to cascade down into streams and rivers, some of them creating a spectacular cascading water show. Bolinao is hardly like that; the surrounding areas are mostly flat and are generally composed of farmlands. Bolinao Falls is situated about twenty kilometers away from the town proper and it takes at least twenty minutes to reach the falls from the town. The road en route to the falls is a newly concreted road, but drive carefully as it is quite narrow and is still in the stages of being completed with a sharp drop at the edges. We were lucky, that we did not encounter one of the many tourist buses visiting the area, while negotiating the road to the falls. If you don’t have a vehicle and you’re going to visit the falls, the best option is to hire a tricycle in the Poblacion and negotiate a reasonable fare with the driver. The falls are accessed through a very short walk from a clearing which functions as the parking area. To get to the Bolinao Falls from a different angle 77
