Parola Park: A Historic Watchtower In Sablayan

-


Parola Park is also known as Presing Park. It is a historic watchtower in the town of Sablayan, in Occidental Mindoro. It was used as a lookout post for pirates and Moro raids. Today, it stands as a monument to the courage and determination of the citizen-soldiers who defended Sablayan during the Moro raids, with the first line of defense against the Moro pirates.


A History of Parola Park

As you walk through Parola Park, you’ll be witness to the bravery of the Sablayenos who fought off Moro pirates in the 1700s. There’s a century-old canon and a light beacon that both date back to this history. Today, you’ll find the lighthouse and an old cannon there. And this all happened because of a bunch of round-the-clock watchers and defenders stationed there, signaling or warning the people to hide while sending volleys of cannon.
