Corregidor City Hotel Philippines Travel Network

Corregidor is known the world over for its role in war, bravery, and history. It is three miles long and 1 ½ miles at its widest point, facing the China Sea and flanked by the provinces of Bataan and Corregidor. A rock island remarkably shaped like a tadpole at the entrance of Manila Bay, Corregidor's strategic location was vital in the defense of Manila during World War II.

The name 'Corregidor' came from the Spanish 'corregir', or 'to correct', since the island was a checkpoint for vessels entering Manila Bay during the Spanish and American occupations. Perhaps it is Corregidor's geographical proximity to Bataan and existing inaccurate historical writings that cause many to associate the rock island with the Death March, which came shortly after the Fall of Bataan.

Most importantly, Corregidor is visited and re-visited because of the rich history it reveals. Being there is like reading through a chapter in our history books. Standing on the highest part of Corregidor's west side is the Pacific War Memorial built by the United States Government to honor the Filipino and American soldiers who participated in World War II. It was completed in 1968 at the cost of $3 million.

One of the most recent additions to Corregidor is the Filipino Heroes Memorial. This 6,000-square meter complex has 14 murals depicting heroic battles fought by Filipinos from 15th century up to the present day. It was designed by Arch. Francisco Manosa, while the murals and a statue of a Filipino guerrilla were sculpted by Manuel Casas. The complex was inaugurated by Pres. Fidel V. Ramos on August 28, 1992.
