Corregidor Island is the only place in the Philippines that can give you that "far-away island feeling of isolation and solitude, yet is so close to Manila. It is a speck of lonely lock guarding the entrance to Manila Bay; a veritable fantasy island that has been frozen in time , a relic from the past, preserved for future generations to see and appreciate. There's something about this old rock fortress--this Corregidor -- that makes our pulse race, and our imaginations fly. It is the feeling of high adventure; a romanticized getaway to the era of our forefathers. it's the "island fever" so much alluded to, but never spoken of in the classic books of Melville and Stevenson. Corregidor
comes to us like a dream. It is part of every one of us; an embodiment
of man's most noble attributes; a haunting memento of days gone by.
This website serves as a virtual introductory foray into its many historic
and visual delights. |
