Corregidor Day Trip

Wow Philippines Jeepney in CCP Terminal

As you know that Tom is in town and I've been taking him to different places around the metro and also in provinces. One of the first places we visited was Corregidor Island which was about an hour and a half away from Manila. We chose this one first because it's just a day trip and we wanted to have a historical exploration around this island.

I've been seeing the Wow Philippines jeepney whenever I'm in the CCP complex and thought that it was only for display. I now realized that it had a purpose; transporting travelers from the ticketing area of Sun Cruises to the dock where the passenger speed boats are waiting.

The photo above is the passenger speed boat that we rode going to Corregidor Island. It was very fast and it only took us an hour and a half to arrive to the island. When we docked in the island, we have to ride the tourist tranvias for the historical tour around the small island.

The ruins in Corregidor Island is a reminder of the dark past. It's part of our history. These ruins already serves as a memorial to the Filipino and American soldiers who died there during World War II.
