malinta tunnel is located beneath the malinta hill in corregidor island. it is a tunnel complex that includes a series of lateral tunnels. the tunnel used to serve as a bunker for corregidors’ personnel and was also equipped with a hospital during the war.
staying overnight at corregidor inn will give you a chance to walk in with a tour guide in the hospital laterals inside the tunnel on the next morning. malinta means “full of leeches” in tagalog.
one of the main attractions of the island of corregidor were the gun emplacements. it is said that 23 batteries (artilleries) were set up by the americans for their defense mission. it consisted of 56 coastal guns and mortars and 13 anti-aicraft artillery batteries with 76 guns – all of which were strategically located around the island.
