La Monja Island (also Monja Island; Spanish: "the nun") is a small, uninhabited island near the entrance to Manila Bay in the Philippines. Falling under the political jurisdiction of Cavite City, it is located several kilometers southeast of Mariveles, Bataan, and 6.0 kilometers (3.7 mi) west from Corregidor lighthouse. It has remained untouched compared to other nearby islands, which have been used as military installations over the past four centuries.
History
