It is the westernmost of the Concepcion Islands and politically administered by the municipality of Concepcion. A virtually flat island, Baliguian features a lighthouse to aid in ship navigation. Location and geographyBaliguian Island is {{convert|22.5|km}} east of Panay Island in the Visayan Sea, making it the furthest of the sixteen Concepcion Islands. Baliguian is {{convert|9|mi|order=flip}} due east of nearby Igbon Island. Small, flat, and heavily wooded, Baliguian is ringed by a narrow reef and surrounded by deep water.[1] LighthouseThe main feature of Baliguian is its lighthouse, situated on the northwest corner of the island.[2] The Baliguian Island Light was built in 1916. Its designations are ARLHS PHI-007, Admiralty F2314,[3] and NGA 14668. The white, octagonal tower is {{convert|66|ft}} high and flashes a white light every seven seconds.[4] The lighthouse is currently active and administered by the Philippine Coast Guard.[5] Rainwater tanks were installed on Baliguian in 2010, as the island until then faced a constant shortage of potable water.[6] Natural disastersTyphoon HaiyanOn November 2013 Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda in the Philippines) destroyed more than 80 percent of homes and pump boats on Baliguian.[7] Four rooms of the island's single school were also damaged.[8] The island did not suffer any fatalities; however, causing locals to dub their home the "Miracle Island".[9] Several religious and international organizations assisted in relief efforts for Baliguian, including Indigenous Ministries and Wilde and Woollard.
