Why I want to go to this place
Why? Because the island is the perfect getaway. It’s only 1.5 hours away from Manila. It has no air pollution, and no crime. There’s no heavy traffic, no panhandlers, no mulcting taxi drivers. Nada. It’s really a tourist paradise.
In order to be thoroughly appreciated, one must realize that Corregidor is an integral part of Philippine history. If you know the exicitng stories behind each fortification, you’ll see the island’s World War II story unfold like a colorful tapestry. The cannons are far from boring!
A common question I hear from people who haven’t been there is “What can you do there anyway?”. Well, there’s a LOT of stuff that you can do on the island!. Aside from being a veritable World War II Theme Park (no other place like it!), the island is a perfect venue for many types of activities. It’s ideal for picnics, hiking, jogging, cycling, kite-flying, and photography to name just a few.
As the decades pass, and the memories of World War II begin to recede into the mists of time, newer generations must be reminded of the bravery and gallantry of the thousands of men who fought and died for our freedom.
Corregidor Island is indeed a must-see!
