The Upper School Field Trip to Corregidor Island finally pushed through yesterday after postponement last month due to warnings of floods and typhoons.  The weather was still not so kind; the sea was a little rough which caused some students to be seasick.  It was quite unfortunate that we were welcomed by a wet and rainy Corregidor.

But the spirits will not be dampened by a little rain! The beauty of Corregidor, which ironically lies in its ruins, is a sight to behold. The ghostly buildings, the dark tunnels, the batteries with magnificent canons and guns, the captivating tramvia… All these make me imagine how our fellow Filipinos lived and survived the war.

So when the Philippine National Anthem was sung to conclude the Light and Sound Show in the Malinta Tunnel, I couldn’t help but tear up and again be proud to be a Filipino.
