Review & FAQ:
Corregidor Island is a historic small island where Americans fought with the Filipinos to protect the island from the Japanese in World War II. The island is one of the most important defensive sites for the capital of the Philippines, Manila, and unfortunately, the allied American and Filipino troops were not able to resist the Japanese in the end and Manila, and the bay, was captured. In 1945 however, the Philippines took Corregidor Island back, and no military action has happened since. The Corregidor Island still highlights evidence of wartime with the ruins of the World War II bases abandoned all across the island and buildings that were destroyed by the bombs and never cleared away. Some of these sites even still have guns and evidence of men living in the barracks. Visitors can only reach the island by private boat.
