Bugui Point Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located on Bugui Point in the town of Aroroy, in the northern tip of Masbate Island, province of Masbate, in the Philippines.[1][2] It lights the entrance to the channel between Burias Island and Masbate Island and the channel between Burias and Ticao Islands leading to San Bernardino Strait.[3]
Work on the light began in October 1893 but was halted by the Philippine Revolution in 1896. After the Philippine-American War, lighthouse construction was resumed by the new American government in the Philippines; and Bugui Point Lighthouse was lit on December 1, 1902.
