There are places that has been scarred throughout the years because of its tragic experience, historic value and feted significance but remained beautiful. It holds true to Corregidor Island.
Being colonized by several
countries made our country very rich in terms of History and Culture. We have
been exceedingly endowed with Western influence that we have learned to adapt
their ways in our daily lives.
This colonization resulted to mass
occupation of foreign diplomats that ensued from a hostile situation caused by dreadful
wars and military conflicts. Thus, we have several places designated as military
bastions like Corregidor Island which played a significant role molding our
Philippine History.
Locally called as Isla ng
Corregidor, this island located at the entrance of Manila Bay served to protect
the bay years ago from aggressive invasion.
Today, Corregidor Island has
become one of the country’s most visited tourist attraction which offers both
educational and fun-filled excursion.
Sun Cruises Philippines offers an
extensive tours package at Corregidor Island that are well-planned with
inclusions of places of interests and tourist attractions with historical
value.
Since we went there on a weekday
we paid P2350/pax. You have to be there early. In fact, we were apprehensive
because our flight in Cebu departs at 5am and approximately will arrive after
an hour. Not discounting the fact that it is within Manila, so you have to
anticipate the traffic going to the Ferry Terminal (Seaside Blvd. MOA Complex).
Thankfully we arrived there at 6:35 am but we were already chance passengers
since we did not have a reservation. When the guard told us that there’s a big possibility
that we won’t be accommodated due to the number of tourists already registered,
we were sad but still hopeful that they will still be able to welcome 2 more
passengers. Our prayers were answered so to speak.
Travel time is a little over an
hour and boarding time is 30 mins before the scheduled departure time which is
8am.
For those visitors who availed a
day tour package, the ferry leaves the island at 2:30 pm and ETA Manila is 3:45
pm.
