Album Info:

(DSC01919) Spanish Colonial Era: Old Spanish documents indicate that the renowned explorers Ferdinand Magellan and Miguel López de Legazpi landed in Camiguin in 1521 and 1565, respectively. The first Spanish settlement was established in 1598 in what is now Guinsiliban. Guinsiliban has an old Spanish watchtower where the Camiguinons kept watch for Moro pirates. The first major Spanish settlement established in 1679 was called Katagman or Katadman (known as Catarman). The settlement grew and prospered but was destroyed by the eruption of Mt. Vulcan in 1871. The former location is what is now Barangay Bonbon of Catarman. (Taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camiguin)
