Heirs of the Late Mario Pérez y Raymundo

When I'm getting home tonight
I'm gonna hold her tight
I'm gonna love her till the cows come home
I bet I'll love her more
till I walk out that door again
Come on, let me through
I got so many things I gotta do
I got no business being here with you
this way
Me and my friend tried to experienced what it would be like riding this zipline,
and it was a great and wonderful experience!
Believe it or not,
I'm walking on air.
I never thought I could feel so free-.
Flying away on a wing and a prayer.
Who could it be?
Believe it or not it's just me.
It's like a light of a new day-,
It came from out of the blue.
Breaking me out of the spell I was in,
Making all of my wishes come true-.

General Trias, Cavite, Philippines
Corregidor is an island in the entrance of the Philippines' Manila Bay. It was a thriving American community before the war. Its residents enjoyed creature comforts such as movies, automobiles, baseball games, an electric train system, and a swimming pool. Due to its position in the bay, it has served as a focal point for the naval defenses of the capital city of Manila. During World War II, Corregidor was the site of several battles and its fall to the Japanese forces was instrumental in the subsequent capture of the Philippines and the retreat of the United States in the early stages of the war. Currently, it is an important historic and tourist site and is managed under the jurisdiction of Cavite City.

(Behind-the-scene: I went to the historic island of Corregidor with friends for a model shoot. We picked the ruins of the Topside Barracks for our location. While on a break I ventured about and saw this lone red hibiscus (locally known as "Gumamela"). Immediately, the red color reminded me of how sacred this place is, how many lives were sacrificed during WWII, where thousand of soldiers - Filipinos, Americans, and Japanese fought an utterly bloody battle in this forsaken rock-barren arena of war. All that is left of the island now are ruins, empty shells of once formidable structures and weapons of destruction bearing defiance to anyone who threatened freedom of Philippine soil. There is something that feels different in this island. Something deep that yearns to be understood and meditated upon. You have to visit it to get a drift of my ramblings.)
