Dawn breaks over Manila Bay and the silhouette of Corregidor rises like a weathered fortress from the water. The ferry cuts a path through gray-green waves, and the island’s concrete batteries and crumbled gun emplacements appear before the ferry slows to land. The first steps ashore are flat stone and the gritty scent of salt; gulls circle, and the wind seems to push visitors toward the island’s memorials.
