2018 Bottomside-July-06 to the 8th Corregidor First Segment: One of several albums of my visit to Corregidor Island, the ex Forth Mills. I visited Corregidor between the 6th and the 8th of July 2018. All these pictures are views of Bottomside on Corregidor.  Zc324-01. Freedom Café, the ex MacArthur Café was shut down by the New CFI, a great loss in my opinion.  Zc325-02. Freedom Café, the ex MacArthur Café was shut down by the New CFI, a great loss in my opinion. This man is an old hand on Corregidor; he is from Maragondon, Cavite, a historic Bonifacio place.  Zc326-03. The last of the 3 boats belonging to Prime Square Ent. (PSE), they operated boat service to and from Corregidor. Under the New CFI they moved to Bataan in 2018 and increased their boat fee to 4000 peso.  Zc327-04. This is the greenery in front of the Corregidor Admin Building, 2018 Bottomside-April-06 on Corregidor.  Zc328-05. There is no trash on the north shore, Bottomside, Corregidor Island, the ex Fort Mills because it is the SW Monsoon Season. It has driven all the trash away from this shoreline!!!!!  Zc329-06. This sign on the Corregidor North Shore, Bottomside is not correct anymore; the jeepney price rose to 2000 peso. If you need a guide, that will be another 1000 peso.  Zc330-07. This is the greenery in front of the Corregidor Admin Building, 2018 Bottomside-April-06 on Corregidor.  Zc331-08.

I did not detect trash under the water either!  Zc332-09. The Rock garden that Mr. Edwards built on his own time is still intact. Mr. Edwards is the tourist event organizer in the Corregidor Inn; he is also an old hand on Corregidor.  Zc333-10. The Rock garden that Mr. Edwards built on his own time is still intact. Mr. Edwards is the tourist event organizer in the Corregidor Inn; he is also an old hand on Corregidor. Everything is greener in the rainy season.  Zc334-12. The single hull ferry boat of the Sun Cruises Inc. is arriving, pretty much on time, it was 0930 hours. It carries 100 passengers only. During the rainy season from June to Sep., it only runs from Thursday to Sunday.  Zc335-13. This view attracted me; it almost looks like tunnel under the line of trees along the road to the south side, towards the trolley bridge.  Zc336-14. The restaurant on the south side of Bottomside on Corregidor is still operating, I had a medium size pancit bihon meal for 160 peso, it was a big plate and it was good.  Zc337-17. The single hull ferry boat of the Sun Cruises Inc. is getting closer, it carries 100 passengers only. During the rainy season from June to Sep., it only runs from Thursday to Sunday. |

I focused this shot on Mr. Wilfredo Labrador, the Boss of PSE.  Zc342-24. The smallest of the 3 boats from Prime Square Ent. (PSE) that is the boat I used to get here. Later during the day it brought another group of visitors.  Zc343-25. The single hull ferry boat of the Sun Cruises Inc. M/V Starlite Juno shot of its stern.  Zc344-26.

A view towards the shore going to Malinta Point on Bottomside on Corregidor and across Lorcha Dock where Gen. MacArthur departed from in 1942. I only now had a closer look at the steep cliffs there.  Zc349-32. The Boss of Prime Square Ent. (PSE) arrived today; right is a CFI staffer and left is the security guard on duty at the north shore water front, the preferred boat landing area.  Zc350-33. Another CFI Staffer, under the New CFI management only one on-island staffer (person) is gone-Mr. Ron Benadero. So the people now are almost 100 % all the people one is familiar with if one is a frequent visitor. |

Just one walk on Corregidor 2018-07-06 I visited Corregidor 2018-07-06 to 08; the purpose was to find out what changed if anything under the new Corregidor Foundation Inc management. I have made already many entries in our forum from this visit. These entries were about news items, about Bottomside, some gun batteries and some structures etc. Now I will make my traditional trip entry about my walk to Battery Cheney 2018-07-06, I have chosen 22 images and will present those images in two segments. On Corregidor one has to climb elevations and between the woods, I sweat like a pig. I used up 4 liters of waters on this walk but 7 for the whole day. Because my favorite Sari Sari store has ceased to exist (Freedom Café), the new CFI closed it and took over the rental room units, I brought my own food and water and that was a good idea. But I hope that that friendly Rest Place (Gasthaus) will rise again and make my visit a pleasure again. During those two days there seemed to be no social life anymore on the island. Was it because the island employees cannot use the Karaoke anymore? First segment of 11 images:  Zc379. My Garmin device data and tracks of my walk to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills, in the Manila Bay Harbor Defense Command, 1 of 3 images of the walking data from my GPS devises 2018-07-06.

My Garmin device data and tracks of my walk to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills, in the Manila Bay Harbor Defense Command, 1 of 3 images of the walking data from my GPS devises 2018-07-06.  Zc384. 0ne of eight images (in the album) of my walk from Bottomside up to Middleside on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, this is road maintenance team at work as always. All the roads that are used for the day tour were maintained very good.  Zc389. 0ne of eight images (in the album) of my walk from Bottomside up to Middleside on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, this is the former Aviary and then Kwiecinski Family residence, they have returned to the US.

I believe they were always up during my previous visits, in the last 15 years. In Subic Bay, SBFZ, they fly the Philippine Flag proudly 24/7! Why not here anymore during the day; SBFZ has permission to fly the Philippine National Flag 24/7/365.  Zc408. 0ne of five images (in the album) of my walk from Bottomside up to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, this is the Pacific War Memorial area, I never noticed the crack before.  Zc411. 0n my walk from Bottomside up to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, a tree is down at the Senior Officer Quarters Topside, at the east section. There are two trees down on the road to Battery Cheney. One tree was down near the Middleside Barracks. Trees are growing in the gun loading platforms of Battery Wheeler and Cheney. I hope CFI will not allow for the tree in the pool (inside the Mile Long Barracks) to grow too tall and damage the ruins more!!!!!  Zc415. 0ne of five images (in the album) of my walk from Bottomside up to Battery Cheney on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, this is Battery Wheeler, a 12 Inch battery.

Zc434. 0n my walk from Battery Cheney down to Bottomside on Corregidor Island, the former Fort Mills in WWII, 2018-07-06, I checked on the entrance to the large Middleside Tunnel.

Z173. k 181016 Corregidor Bottomside. 003, no attention. This is the Gen. Wainwright and Nurses Memorial, it looks like that Corregidor maintenance cannot give it the 100 % attention it perhaps should have. Uploaded to Facebook and the forum.
Z174. k 181016 Corregidor Bottomside. 004, monkey. A nice picture with the monkey and the Navy patyrol boat moored to the Eng. Dock; this picture was shot from the Bayside Café. Uploaded to Facebook and the forum.

2018-Oct 16 to 18 Karl’s Visit to Corregidor This is my overview of the visit to Corregidor. I was to meet the PMA class but there were no boats, they had to cancel. So I went off on my own. These are pictures from my 2nd day on Corregidor. Today I added 18 mages to the Photobucket album and to the Facebook Album. I spent a lot of time around the north side of the trolley barn, and the structures P-53 to P-59 (did not find anything) and so did not take any pictures.

Because of Photobucket’s poor quality of service not all pictures may open.  Z178. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 001,Battery Hearn. I met the Bicolanos again at Battery Hearn the next day. But I spent a lot of time around the north side of the trolley barn, and the structures P-53 to P-59 (did not find anything), and took no pictures.  Z179. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 002,G1 near B-Smith. Next, I spent a lot of time at GI, took pictures but I refer you back to this link: corregidor.proboards.com/thread/1824/battery-position-finder-stations-manila Photobucket doesn't let this picture open; here is the alternative, click on this IMG Thumb:  Z180. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 003,Battery Grubbs. I also spent some time at Battery Grubbs but offer only this picture. It is only a matter of time and concrete falls apart.  Z181. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 005,Mile Long Barracks. The (so called) Mile Long Barracks, we can see that the new Corregidor Management seems to have fewer resources and find it difficult to keep up cutting the grass.  Z182. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 006,Parade Ground. This tractor with his attached grass mower had to call off this job, go to Kindley Field and cut grass there to let a light plane take off from the air field.  Z183. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 008,Mile Long Barracks. The (so called) Mile Long Barracks, we can see that the new Corregidor Management seems to have fewer resources and find it difficult to keep up cutting the grass.  Z184. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 010,Mile Long Barracks. Walking inside the (so called) Mile Long Barracks one should be aware, stuff could fall on your head, like it killed a paratrooper that way on the day of the assault.  Z185. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 011,Memorials. The flags are flying Topside on Corregidor at the Memorials, although there was no ferry boat today from Manila but we had some walk-ins like me.  Z186. m 181017 C.I.Topside. 014,Telephone exchange. This is the Telephone exchange, the early capture by the Paratrooper prevented the Imperial Japanese Defenders to organize an effective defense.
