LEGEND
| |
PUNTA CRUZ ( 1865 ) - The name Punta Cruz is traceable
to the wooden cross, planted by the natives at the edge of a clift,
which up to this time stands serenely despite pressures of man and
time. The said cross symbolizes the acceptance of Christianity of
our pagan forefathers who made their living through fishing along
the coasts of Guimnay. Guimnay is the old name of Punta Cruz. The
term " punta " describes the tip of the clift and
" cruz " refers to the wooden cross that stands on
it.
When the Augustinian friars came, they erected the watchtower as a
lookout against the attack of marauders and pirates. It was also used
as a place of worship. The Punta Cruz Watchtower is in a shape of
a triangular pyramid made out of stone tablets carefully assembled
overlooking the scenic Maribojoc Bay.
