Zc277. This is the Corregidor Angel who with his boat keeps the people on Corregidor alive. He is Minard (not sure about the spelling). He braves the North Channel everyday and brings supplies per call (request) to the residents on Corregidor from Cabcaben. His telephone number is, at least it was 0916 321 7739. I think I will order water from him in the future.
