Fuga Island

Fuga Moro Island is an island in the municipality of Aparri, Cagayan. With an area of 100 km², it constitutes one of 42 barangays of Aparri along with the neighbouring islets of Barit (4.8 km²) and Mabag (0.7 km²).

Though under the jurisdiction of mainland Aparri, it is part of the Babuyan Archipelago, the second-northernmost island group of the Philippines. The highest peak is Mount Nanguringan in the northeast, with an elevation of 191 meters.

According to the 2000 population census, it has 1,786 people in 312 households. The principal settlement is Naguilian (Musa) village on the southern coast.

The island still retains a traditional culture, a manifestation of which is the annual construction of a small straw imitation boat that is floated out to sea. The tradition began in 1656 when the island was almost invaded by British ships, prompting islanders to make a similar replica of a boat, thus preventing the island's annexation by Great Britain.

Presently, Fuga Island is owned by Fuga Island Holdings. It was formerly owned by the Dominican Order under the encomienda system during the Spanish period eventually returned to the Filipinos after the signing of The Treaty of Paris. Former owners were Sycip Family, Alfonso Lim, Tan Yu and now Fuga Island Holdings of the Serafica Family. The first land title was issued in 1908 under Original Certificate Title number two (2). The government of the Philippines, in recognition of the development of this private land declared by national legislation that Fuga Island and its surrounding mainland port facilities be designated an economic zone as part of the Cagayan Special Economic Zone (CEZA) and Freeport under Republic Act No. 7922.

    Nunca mais vai estar em casa
    nada será igual
    Olhava as pessoas em volta
    Ninguém podia ajudar.
    Tinha o fogo em suas mãos
    e dentro de si o medo.
    Pensava em tudo o que ficou
    quando todos percebessem
    a garota se mandou!
    Pensava em tudo o que ficou
    quando todos percebessem
    a garota se mandou!
    Pensava em tudo o que ficou
    quando todos percebessem
    a garota se mandou, se mandou!
    Tudo em volta parecia um sonho.
    Nada fazia sentido. Nada será igual.
    O silêncio das paredes esperava
    O silêncio esperava.
    Então, adeus é mais do que um pensamento.
    Então, adeus.
    Pensava em tudo o que ficou
    quando todos percebessem
    a garota se mandou!
    Pensava em tudo o que ficou
    quando todos percebessem
    a garota se mandou, se mandou!
    [Solo]
    Pensava em tudo o que ficou
    quando todos percebessem
    a garota se mandou!
    Pensava em tudo o que ficou
    quando todos percebessem
    a garota se mandou, se mandou, se mandou!
