www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/390696/lifestyle/travel/corregidor-not-all-7-107-islands-are-created-equal?ref=secheadThe article above seems so shallow, with some errors that pisses me off ("As with any 21st century military base" and "We learned that had it not been for the lack of resources and ammunition, Corregidor would not have been surrendered to the Japanese forces on May 6, 1942 and the Philippines would not have been placed under Japanese rule until 1945"). It is as if it is yet another tourist destination. Sounds like the author was straining to sound interested in the trip, and that it feels that he felt bored about it. I dunno. That's how I somehow read the tone of it. Maybe I'm being unduly harsh? I dunno. At least it doesn't mention that the island is an adventure tourist destination blah blah *vomit*

No, you have not been harsh at all. It's a puff piece, as light as a blancmange, and with a similar IQ. It's the sort of space filler that lifestyle & travel sections feature as paid pieces, an advertorial where accurate history has no place.
