How to get there?
From Pagbilao, just follow the National Highway going to Atimonan. Go past the Y-junction at Binahaan by taking the left branch. After KM post 148, notice that the road goes straight for a long stretch. Go past Locohin Bridge (Binahaan Bridge). In the vicinity of where KM post 149 used to be is a right turning curve. Along this curve is Malicboy Bridge. After the bridge, the road goes straight again for as far as you can see. Then the road comes with a a left turning curve.
Along this curve, find St. Anne Shrine on the left side. Also in the same vicinity is the Barangay Hall of Silangang Malicboy which you would find to your right. You must exercise extra caution when driving to the parking area or walking across the road , since this part of the highway is a "compound curve", meaning after the left turning curve, a right turning curve immediately follows. It other words, be cautious of incoming vehicles and the ubiquitous motorcyles.

50th Anniversary
On 15 March 2008, the St.Anne Parish, under parish priest Rev.Fr. Raphy Tolentino, celebrated its 50th anniversary as a parish. The guest of honor was no less than the President of the Republic of the Philippines. It is a very rare and unusual occasion that the President would grace an event like this. More photos by Gerry Lontok of the President's visit may be viewed at www.pagbilawin.com - a website maintained by US-based Glenn Maningas.
