Geez as a kid I am very Scared of Spiders specially the Brown Spiders you commonly encounter in the Old wooden Houses in Manila. Are there tarantulas in Coregidor ?

Hi there okla. I have a feeling that you would really enjoy a night in one of those old damaged laterals. As for ghosts, add a couple bottles of Red Horse to your list of supplies and you will soon see a whole battalion marching by. Watch where you sit, there are still a few bones in there... Regarding Bones according to some tourist if you join the Over night tour youl be touring the latterals of the Malinta and in one of the laterals you may see a bone of a japanese Soldier. Has anyone saw that or took photos

Fots and I did the trip yesterday. I hope I didn't scare him with my driving abilities. ;D Places we visited: New Bilibid Prison aka the Maximum Security Compound at Muntinlupa De La Salle University's south wing Rizal Baseball Stadium Fort Santiago and Intramuros (thanks BB for the 120mm gun directions!) University of Santo Tomas Places we passed by (just passing, didn't stop, or stayed for a short while without going off the van): UP Manila Rizal Hall and Philippine General Hospital Provisor IslandMalacanang Park Old Bilibid Prison aka Manila City Jail (now I know why my colleagues feel filthy when they visit it) Is the old Meralco Tegen station still stands today I remember when I was a kid I can always see the smoke stack from our Elementary School in Singgalong.

@fots Hi there thanks for the reply
Wow I am not sure, what to do I am planning to avail the Overnight Package by Sun cruises but it seems even the over night tour is limited I want to explore the other Batteries freely with just a guide or a driver not part of the tour where I would only get 10mins at most to photograph those relics, But my problem is I dont know any other means to get to the rock other than thru the suncruises Trips, I am a city boy. I don't know anyone from Bataan hehehe ok its way past my Bedtime know. Have a nice evening to all

Okla , This is an amazing site and everyone's contribution in what ever form is recreating the history of Corregidor , prior the war , the ww2 days and beyond . Because of this the big picture is forming . There is still a long way to go . On the lighter side I am waiting for the headline on this site reading : OKLA SETS FOOT ON CORREGIDOR . Regards I am a lurker of this site for a long time, and that is how I got motivated to save a few bucks for the Coregidor trip last summer Yes it is an amazing site and I am thankful there is site like this I enjoyed reading all the posts and comments here by Okla,Fots2,Phantom,Batteryboy and the rest of the gang it is really entertaining and enlightening at the same time. It is ironic I learn more a lot here in this site than from the Day Tour I joined.. I am looking forward in returning to Coregidor maybe April 2012. Thanks
