Cabra Island is the north-westernmost of the Lubang Group of Islands in the Verde Island Passage south of Luzon, Philippines. Politically, it is an island-barangay of Occidental Mindoro. With a length of about 4.5 km and about 2.9 km at its widest, the island has a flat terrain with the highest elevation at 60.96 metres. A particular rock islet near one beach is considered by locals as a symbol of the island given its shape as a cabra; the Cabra Island Lighthouse complex is located on Cabra Island. Cabra Island may have formed from a gigantic coral reef; the community in Cabra was established by the Spaniards in 1885, the year they started building the Cabra Island Lighthouse. It was named Cabra. From 1966 to 1972, a handful of schoolgirls on the island reported experiencing visions of the Blessed Virgin Mary; the purported apparitions, unofficially known by the title of Our Lady of Cabra Island inspired the 1982 Ishmael Bernal drama film Himala, starring Nora Aunor. The Cabra Island Lighthouse complex is situated about 656 yards from the west end of the island.

Construction on the lighthouse began on May 3, 1885, it was first lit on March 1, 1889. The lighthouse is closed to visitors due to its dilapidated state. List of islands of the Philippines

Bronisława Dłuska was a Polish physician, co-founder and first director of Warsaw's Maria Skłodowska-Curie Institute of Oncology. She was married to political activist Kazimierz Dłuski, was an older sister of physicist Marie Curie. Bronisława was born 28 March 1865 in Warsaw to Władysław Skłodowski and Bronisława Skłodowska, both of whom were teachers; the second eldest of five children, she had three sisters—Zofia and Marie—and a brother, Józef. On both the paternal and maternal sides, the family had lost their property and fortunes through patriotic involvements in Polish national uprisings aimed at restoring Poland's independence; this left the subsequent generation to a difficult struggle to get ahead in life. Her paternal grandfather, Józef Skłodowski, had been a respected teacher in Lublin, where he taught the young Bolesław Prus, who would become a leading figure in Polish literature, her father, Władysław Skłodowski, taught mathematics and physics, was director of two Warsaw gymnasia for boys.

After Russian authorities eliminated laboratory instruction from the Polish schools, he brought much of the laboratory equipment home, instructed his children in its use. The father was fired by his Russian supervisors for pro-Polish sentiments, forced to take lower-paying posts, her mother, Bronisława, operated a prestigious Warsaw boarding school for girls. She died of tuberculosis in May 1878, when the young Bronisława was only 13 years old, leaving the teenager, now the eldest woman in the family, to care for Helena, Józef. Less than three years earlier, Bronisława's older sister, had died of typhus contracted from a boarder. In 1882 Bronisława graduated from secondary school with a gold medal. Unable to study at institutions of higher learning that did not admit women, she joined the underground Floating University, tutoring to fund her future studies. At age 19 she left for Paris. Maria helped her sister financially, under an agreement that Maria would help Bronisława during her medical studies, in exchange for similar assistance when Maria went to study in Paris.

In 1890 Bronisława graduated as a gynaecologist-obstetrician and married political exile and fellow physician Kazimierz Dłuski. The couple were active in the local community. At her sister's insistence, Maria joined the couple in Paris in 1891 to study at the Sorbonne. Maria lived with them for a time before renting a garret closer to the university than the one-hour carriage ride from Bronisława's apartment. Bronisława and Kazimierz had a daughter, Helena, in 1892 a son, Jakub, a few years later, she and Kazimierz returned to Poland in 1898 to set up a pulmonological sanitarium in the southern, Tatra Mountains resort town of Zakopane. Kazimierz was not permitted to travel to the Russian partition of Poland. Beginning in early August 1914, one of Zakopane's notable World War I visitors was the Polish-born English-language novelist Joseph Conrad, who took refuge there with his family; the patriotic Bronisława Dłuska scolded him for using his great literary talent for purposes other than bettering the future of his native Poland, which Conrad had left at age 16.

After World War I, Poland regained its independence, Kazimierz joined the Polish delegates at the 1919 Versailles Peace Conference. Now free to return to a Warsaw no longer under Russian rule, the Dłuskis set up a tuberculosis preventorium in the Warsaw suburb of Anin. Following the successful opening of the first Radium Institute in Paris in 1918, now known by her adopted French given name of Marie, began work setting up a second Radium Institute in Warsaw. Building began in 1925 with the laying of the foundation stone of the Warsaw Radium Institute, with Bronisława to be its director, she supervised the construction and recruitment, while Marie raised funds in the United States and elsewhere, despite the death of Kazimierz in 1930, Bronisława continued to run and oversee the creation of the facility. On 29 May 1932, the Institute was opened, with Bronisława as the first director. On 15 April 1939 Bronisława died of old age, she is buried in the family tomb with her parents, her sisters Zofia and Helena, her brother Józef
