Wonder of BILIRAN ISLAND

NASUNUGAN WATCH TOWER during the times when MORO raids were rampant the people of biliran built a watch tower near the church but in one of those raids the MOROS  burned the settlement and only this watchtower made of stone and coral blocks remained standing. Hence, the place is now called Nasunugan located in Brgy. San Roque, Biliran. It was constructed in 2000 and was recognized by the National Historical Institute of the Philippines as one of the countrys historical landmarks in 2008.


 BINONGTOAN is like a pilgrimage for biliranons. It is the place where Padre Gaspar Ignacio de Guevarra brought the town folks during the so-called Biliran Religious Revolt from 1765 to 1774. From biliran town proper, you can ride a motorcycle up to Brgy. Hugpa or Brgy. Canila from there you can start hiking. before reaching the peak, people would stop by at a spring water to drink sweet cold and refershing water which some people believes to be miraculous.
