More photos on Facebook at www.facebook.com/groups/ww2pinas/?ref=searchThough I have some questions. Was a US Flag raised? YES/NO
Did the "Old Flagpole" feature as a part of the ceremony? YES/NO
Were there any veterans who were on Corregidor 2 March 1945 present? YES/NO
I think it's a bit of a stretch to say that what happened on Corregidor on 2 March 1945 marked, in any way, the end of WWII in the Philippines. The main force of the Japanese troops on Luzon remain in the mountains, awaiting their pursuit. Much of the central Philippines, still under Japanese control, remaind to be liberated. Negros is yet to be retaken. And Mindanao (April 17). So, it's a bit of a stretch.
