Zf084. This seems to have been a former CFI visitor reception and even a camping site; but now houses a Philippine Marine Detail who helps Corregidor save together with their Navy Comrades. Notice Malinta Hill is in back. Since the virus crises started it seems CFI did not renew or terminated the contract with a civilian security service and the Philippine Military sent two teams over here to help, apparently that stated in March or April last year. I did not take a picture but I talked to 3 young people who stayed one night and brought tents, they had rigged their tents not o far from the South Dock.

Zf083. This building, right now, houses a Philippine Navy Team (Navy SEALS) who help keeping Corregidor Island safe from marauders, scrappers, unauthorized visitors etc. This building is located in the former San Jose, the former main village on Corregidor, at the west foot of Malinta Hill. Before that it served as a restaurant with other services like renting a tent. It appears it was built by the Philippine Navy before I started visiting Corregidor in 2004, because 4 Navy Ratings are engraved at a former Flagpole base including their names and rates.

Zf093. This is the last picture of my visit, I actually only saw it on the 19th, Friday, the day of my departure. It is a new sign from the new CFI Management as to what the fees are. It is located where the boats from Bataan land, just inside the Fort Mills North Mine Dock, North Shore, Bottomside, Corregidor Island.

Zf092. These trees were planted between the former Gen. MacArthur Café and the Saluting Battery Hill and are hanging in there. This is a view from the chapel, thru the trees, towards Bataan. Not sure that these are the right trees for this soil but they are hanging in there and I take a picture, every time I come to see how they are doing.
