Day 6 - Philippines












Bataan Rice Fields
Another beautiful view of the Philippines are the rice fields.
Corregidor Boat

On our sixth day on the trip, we decided to take another little venture. This time we decided to take a trip to Corregidor on a local boat. Harris had never been there, so it was naturally one of my favorite memories of the Philippines. Of all people, Harris had to make the trip.

Corregidor

Corregidor Tunnel

One of the unique things about Corregidor is the many tunnels. As a safety feature in the island, one of the major mountains was hollowed out and made into a tunnel. Here is a picture inside the tunnel.

Malinta Tunnel

Here is a picture outside of the tunnel to demonstrate its magnitude.

Old Barracks at Corregidor

These are the Old Barracks at Corregidor.

Battery Guns at Corregidor
Throughout the island are different artillery sights. This is a good example of some of those sights that they used to defend the Philippines.

Corregidor Brothers in Arms

This is one of my favorite parts of the island. On the main area lays a memorial to the Americans and Filipinos who fought together. One of the status show two men carrying each other through the endeavor which is entitled ‘Brothers in Arms’.
