Corregidor Island lies at the entrance to Manila Bay, guarding the capital like a seaborne sentry. This tadpole-shaped island, nicknamed ‘the Rock’, provided the first line of defence for the Filipino and American soldiers from the invading Japanese forces during the World War II.
Relive history by partaking in the Malinta Tunnel Light and Sound Show, which chronicles the events that shaped the centre of American operations during the war. Then visit the Mile Long Barracks that served as the quarters of some 2,000 US officials including General Douglas MacArthur. We’ll take a quick detour to the Spanish Lighthouse which offers a spectacular view of Manila Bay and the South China Sea.
Additional sights include the batteries displaying the various guns from the time and the Pacific War Memorial, one of only two memorials built by the US government to mark the war.
