Corregidor Island: “the Rock”

September 11, 2010 – Corregidor Island

The Island of Fortress. . .

Corregidor is a small rocky island in the Philippines about 48 kilometers west of Manila which is stragetically located at the entrance of Manila Bay. This island fortress stands as a memorial for the courage, valor, and heroism of its Filipino and American defenders who bravely held their ground against the overwhelming number of invading Japanese forces during World War II.

How about taking a day-off and run around the island called “the ROCK” ?

WE JUST DID !!!  a 12-km run arround Corregidor Island…
