Liloan’s Bantayan sa Hari, a forgotten historical treasure that is located few meters away from the lighthouse, I had a hard time going to where it was located since going to where it stands has lots of cave on the ground and no proper trail and was full of shrubs. The Bantayan sa Hari was built around 1857. In the early part of the 17th century, Moros pillaged Liloan, sending residents fleeing for safety to Danao, when Moro raiders concentrated their attacks on Cebu’s north. The Moro raiders turned their attention to the north after the southern Cebu towns’ effective defense of their territories. The raiders not only divested local residents of goods, people were also snatched for slavery. The watchtower is now left to ruins and rubble, only its base part remain.
