Corregidor

06 May 1942. 27 days after the fall of Bataan, the combined US and Filipino forces of about 3000 under General Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright in Corregidor finally surrender to the Japanese Imperial Army under General Masaharu Homma. Although the US Command in the Philippines folded up in June of that year, thousands of Filipinos carried on the resistance to Japanese occupation in a guerilla warfare.
