june 4, 2011 saturday


objective:
to visit the best tourist spot that fits to my budget at limited amount of time.
additional tasks: to be educated about the history of filipino bravery during the wars. 

important note (corregidor island):
Corregidor Island, locally called Isla ng Corregidor, is a lofty island located at the entrance of Manila Bay in southwestern part of Luzon. Corregidor (Fort Mills) is the largest of the islands that form the harbor defense of Manila Bay together with El Fraile Island (Fort Drum), Caballo Island (Fort Hughes) and Carabao Island (Fort Frank), which were all fortified during the American occupation of the country.
