The island of Corregidor, also known as “The Rock”, is one of the important historical places in the Philippines. This small island stood its ground and protected Manila and the islands of the Philippines from the attacking Japanese soldiers. An old saying goes that “Great things come in small packages” and Corregidor proved just that.

The old canons, mortars and ruins that the second world war left in Corregidor not only tell stories about Filipino’s courage but are also perfect for a prenuptial pictorial. This is what my wife and I agreed about as we chose the island of Corregidor as the location for our prenup last November 2009. Here’s a slide show of our photos:

All I can say is that the place is perfect! Here’s just a few tips for you when you are planning to visit Corregidor:

• Lunch usually comes with the cruise package.
• Staying overnight is always the better option because day tours are just too quick.
• Bring your own food for merienda because buying food from stores in Corregidor is expensive. The price is around three times the normal price of the goods.
• If you are going on a pictorial, renting your own van is better than riding the tour bus because they can only stay in one location for a few minutes.
