Manigonigo Island (variously Manigonigo Islet and called Islote de Manigonigo during Spanish rule) is an island in northeastern Iloilo, Philippines. It is one of fourteen islands politically administered by the municipality of Carles. The island's lighthouse was built by the Spanish during Spanish rule.
Manigonigo Island is 4miles northeast of Panay Island coast in the Visayan Sea, 1.6miles east of Panay and 2miles west of Nabunot Island.[1] The island is small and flat. Two small rocks, the Anegada Rocks, are 0.75miles southwest of Manigonigo.[2]
During Spanish rule of the Philippines, the Spanish built 27 major and 33 minor lighthouses throughout the Philippines, including one on Manigonigo Island.[3] On 6 November 1894, the Spanish government gave notice of their intent to erect a lighthouse on Manigonigo on 15 November that same year.[4] The original tower was a steel tourelle and was prefabricated in France. While the original tower was high, the current tower is only high; however, the lighthouse's focal point is still high, flashing once every seven seconds.
