Our overnight company outing was held in corregidor last may. Though t'was my 2nd time to be in the area, it was my 1st time to explore the entire island. The experience took me back in time of the WW2. I cannot help but imagine what happened during the war. I kept asking myself ...where would i be if i was already twenty something during that era? Hmmmm...let me think...i might be a soldier's wife crying over my husband's brutal death...or i could have been a female soldier (were there any female soldiers at that time?!) fighting against the japanese side by side the Americans...or worse i could have been raped by a japanese or an american soldier!
My Corregidor experience taught me to admire the bravery of the Filipino soldiers and value our freedom as a nation. It made me proud of having a great Filipino ancestry!
By the way, I was secretly wishing to see a ghost of a japanese or american soldier during our stay in the island but unfortunately (or fortunately?!) i have'nt seen one!
