Corregidor, a national shrine, is an island fortress nicknamed "The Rock". This was the last bastion to fall to the invading Japanese in 1942. The place acquired immense significance as a symbol of the determined resistance of its Filipino and American defenders. Above photo shows one of the cannons that broods silently over the landscape which was once denuded by bombardment.
