Destination: Corregidor
by Ellen Joy Anastacio August 2003
It's time for another virtual trip, this time to historical
Corregidor! Corregidor, which is roughly 48 miles west of Metro
Manila, is accessible by ferries from the Cultural Center of the
Philippines complex. Take a look at some of the things we saw in the
island!
On the way to the island, drink in the
fabulous views of the sea..
..the turf..
outlying islands..
and the approach to Corregidor.
The Lighthouse.
Philippine Heroes Memorial
Battery Way was successful in fending off
the Japanese attack.
Inside Battery Way.
Battery Way Ruins
Vintage cars used by President Quezon
and General McArthur
The Filipino Woman
General Douglas McArthur
So if you want to take in a bit of history,
Corregidor is just a boat ride away. A short day
trip will give you the chance to experience this
with the Light and Sound show at the Malinta tunnel,
a tramvia ride that will show you the old barracks,
large cannons, batteries, murals, plus
memorials to the Pacific heroes, Filipino-American
heroes, the Japanese Garden of Peace, and a lot
more.
