Corregidor is the largest of the islands guarding the entrance to Manila Bay. Tadpole shapped, it lies of the south western tip of Batan Peninsula, 26 miles off Manila. It rises about 450 feet sea level with a land area of three and a half square miles.
This place became historic during World War II for thousands of American and Pilipino veterans, the mere mention of Corregidor brings back memories of the valiant 1942 stand against the Japanese which, although hopeless, was in many ways our finest hour. On this island fortress which guards the entrance to Manila Bay, American troops held out for 27 days against impossible odds. See the Malinta Tunnel which sheltered Generals MacArthur and Wainwright, the mile-long barracks and the battlements, and stand before the eternal flame of the Pacific War Memorial. From the lighthouse, you can enjoy a sweeping view of Manila Bay, Bataan and the China Sea.
