CORREGIDOR ISLAND, is also known as "The Rock" because of its rocky landscape and heavy fortifications on the island. It is a lofty island located at the entrance of Manila Bay in southwestern part of Luzon. Due to this location, Corregidor was fortified with several coastal artillery and ammunition magazines to defend the entrance of Manila Bay and the City of Manila, from attacks by enemy warships in the event of war.

HOUSE MOVING IN THE PHILIPPINES
From Jadj Dancel
September 2022
Giving a helping hand in time of need fosters a strong community spirit among the provincial people.
When I was young, growing in the province was full of energy and the learning curve of social and spiritual values were inculcated at tender years.
One of them is Bayanihan, a traditional way of house moving using physical strength and labor of fellowmen in the neighbourhood. The house is emptied before it is carried on the shoulders by men to move it from one place to another.
In return, the house owner prepares food to feed the labourers, no less than the helping mates or neighbours, after the task is done.
