Corregidor

The Preserved Island of Historical Artifacts

We started planning this trip as early as January of this year; we were more than ten that time.
We were very excited because finally, most of our friends will be joining and thank God we had the we have availed the cheapest rate of Corregidor tour promo. We booked for trip March 12, 2011.

Due to the unfortunate event (tsunami)  happened in Japan (Match 11, 2011), we decided to cancel our trip. Because going to Corregidor will take more than 1hr of sea travel, just to be safe.

Many things happened after we cancelled our trip.
However, we still tried to reconcile our schedules because our tour promo is up to December 31, 2011 only. All effort have been exerted but most of our friends can't go and requested to have their tickets re-sell. So, Rhea and I decided to push this trip and asked our friend Brian if he wants to join us for Corregidor.

So there we were, December 3, 2011 at Corregidor -- The preserved island of historical artifacts.

We board at Sun Cruises ferry/boat around 7:30am and left Manila bay around 9am. (Sun Cruises is the only authorized company to sail from Manila to Corregidor and vice versa)

We were more than 200 passengers including tourists and crews inside the ferry/boat.

The travel took an hour or so then we arrived in Corregidor.

This is the Tranvia, the only allowed transportation for tourists in Corregidor. We're in Tramia no. 7.

This is Stella -- our historian and tour guide.
As I remember she's an on-call tour guide and doing this career for 9 already years.
If you listen to her attentively you'll discover a lot of new things from our history. Especially from what happened between the lines of our history book and the story missed by our history teacher during high school/College. I guess you need to go to Corregidor and find Stella. :)



Enough of me, I bring you Corregidor...

This is Stella sharing to us her experienced about the different versions of Corregidor history from point of Japanese and American.
