Corregidor all set to boost global presence as tourist destination
Corregidor is about to undergo a full-restoration: this time, it readies itself to become the next must-see destination in the Philippines for tourists all over the world.
The tadpole-shaped Corregidor Island is more than the most historical memorial landmark in the Pacific that had seen the drama of our gallant men’s heroism and passion for freedom back World War II when the island loftily served as the harbor defenses of Manila Bay.
According to Corregidor Foundation Inc. Chairman Cynthia Lagdameo Carrion, “greening and reforesting the Island will further improve its ecosystem and level up its biological diversity that will set perfect grounds as a bird-watching sanctuary, and a mix of adventure, wellness and relaxation refuge.” Through this full restoration, the Island seeks to promote itself to become at par with the world’s best tourist destinations.

To do this, the foundation plans to soon knock the doors of the national governments and private patrons. “We believe that the Corregidor Island is a perfect place to enjoy the best of tropical Philippines, a picture-perfect showcase of the variety of fun and adventure offered on its land, sea and air. We beg the Filipino nation therefore to come together and help prepare this piece of historical paradise into an ultimate relaxation and fun adventure sanctuary the world will keep on coming back to,” quips Carrion.
