The other vehicles and boats on Corregidor
I mean the others, than the Sun Cruises trolleys and vehicle transportation for the Corregidor Inn guests.
I have often said that Corregidor visitors that come by other boat transportation than the Sun Cruises ferry can rent jeepney, a bus and boats (especially a large one) from the Corregidor Foundation Inc (CFI).
That is false and I stand corrected!
The other vehicles on Corregidor belong and are operated by Prime Square Ent. which also owns the three (3) large big boats (banca) which operate from Corregidor Island to MAAP Pier in Brgy. Alas-Asin, Mariveles.
The Executive Director and Trusty of CFI, LTCOL. Artimo G. Matibag, wrote me the below on the 16th Jan 2017.
Dear Karl, Corregidor Foundation, Inc. (CFI) has no jeepney and buses on Corregidor Island. They are owned and operated by Prime Square Ent. (PSE) who also owned and operates three (3) big boats (banca) from Corregidor Island to MAAP Pier in Brgy. Alas-Asin, Mariveles. Hire is handled by them and just coordinated by Mr. Ron Benadero (CP#0916-3063693)

16th Feb. 2019 commemoration of raising the First Flag on Corregidor For many years now, members of our forum have visited Corregidor, the former Fort Mills, to raise the 48 Star US Flag on the 16th Feb. to commemorate, that the paratroopers raised the US Flag, under fire, on that day of the assault. So far 3 people have decided to visit Corregidor for the 2019 event, a retired Colonel, a Texas Lawyer and I. We will arrive from Bataan on the 14th Feb and depart on the 17th Feb. Here are two pictures to remind us! Z1fots073. February 1945 photo, photo from John Moffitt’s forum entries.

Harald Klose, German Army, retired, he is a family friend and now has visited me the fifth year and we have visited Corregidor the fifth time together; John Byrne- an Australian who came with the webmaster; Gary Vodicka from Texas and a lawyer who has visited Corregidor several times already.
