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. During World War II, Corregidor played an important role during the invasion and liberation of the country from Japanese forces. Heavily bombarded in the latter part of the war, the ruins left on the island serves as a military memorial to several American, Filipino and Japanese soldiers who served or lost their lives on the island. Corregidor fall under the jurisdiction of the province of Cavite. It is now one of the most important historic and tourist sites in the Philippines.
