THE ROCK. Philippine President Benigno Simeon Aquino III, accompanied by Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) Chief of Staff General Jessie Dellosa, troops the line during the 70th memorial commemoration of the Fall of Corregidor (Day of Courage) at the Dome Altar, Pacific War Memorial, Topside, Corregidor Island, on Sunday, May 6. Corregidor Island, also known as The Rock, earned the distinction of being the stumbling block of the Japanese Imperial Army in its quest to annihilate the Allied Forces in 1942 in the Pacific. Had it not been for Corregidor Island's tenacious defense, Australia would have been overrun by the Japanese, depriving General Douglas MacArthur from regrouping forces to mount counter-attacks two years later. The Rock is one of the most dramatic and historical landmarks in the Pacific, geographically located west of the Philippine capital, Manila.(Jay Morales/MPB/ NPPA Images)
