[1] According to local historians of both the cities of Taguig and Pasig, the lighthouse was the first site where Katipunan leaders Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Aguinaldo met with fellow revolutionaries on the night of May 29, 1896 to launch an armed revolution against the Spanish colonial administration over the Philippines.

[2] The ensuing Cry of Pugad Lawin occurred in August 1896 in its wake, and is widely regarded as the start of the Philippine Revolution.

[1] At the lighthouse, Katipunan members were briefed by Pio Valenzuela regarding his dialogue with reformist writer José Rizal over the later's opinion on a revolution.

During the Battle of Taguig, the lighthouse was destroyed on March 19, 1899, by an American ship, the USS Laguna de Bay.

[1][3] A small concrete structure with a solar-power beacon was built by the Philippine Coast Guard to aid marine vessels entering the Pasig River from Laguna de Bay and vice versa.
