History of Corregidor Island


JuteVilla
Corregidor is an island in the entrance of Manila Bay in the Philippines. Because of its strategic location in the bay, it served as a focal point for the naval defences of the capital city, Manila.

The island is about 48 kilometers west of Manila and is part of the municipality of Cavite City. It is shaped like a tadpole, with its tail running eastward, and has a land area of 9 square kilometers. Along with Caballo Island (which lies 2 kilometers south of the tail's tip), it partially blocks the entrance of Manila Bay, and thus has strategic importance.
