A quick post from me (James) to get some photos from my trip to the Philippines on the blog. I went to a week-long conference in Manila and spent most of the first few days at the hotel sitting in on a number of briefings. On Thursday, we got a little time to get out and about in the city and on Friday, we went on a tour of the island of Corregidor, located in Manila Bay and site of two very famous battles during World War II.

Topside Barracks (also known as Mile Long Barracks) on Corregidor Island. This large building was heavily bombed during WWII.
This is another section of Topside Barracks showing some of the heavy damage brought about by the bombing:
