Corregidor Island, Philippines

[fishysides]

Hello!, new member here and just started collecting.

I'm Christian from Manila, Philippines. Just want to share my tour in the Corregidor Island last October 29, 2011

During World War II, Corregidor played an important role during the invasion and liberation of the Philippines from Japanese forces. Heavily bombarded in the latter part of the war, the ruins left on the island serves as a military memorial to several American, Filipino and Japanese soldiers who served or lost their lives on the island. Corregidor is one of the important historic and tourist sites in the country.

Will post more pics
