Pulilu

Pulilu, or Polillo, is an island off eastern Luzon, separated from the mainland by the Polillo Strait and forming the northern side of Lamon Bay. Its forests shelter the large fruit-eating butaan lizard, a relative of the monitor lizards found elsewhere in the archipelago. Chinese sources recorded a place called Pulilu in the maritime world of the Philippines. Spanish visitors later came to the island and established a chapel during the sixteenth century.
