You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.85.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 21:48, 22 February 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

The '''1910 Fort Bonifacio War Memorial Tunnel''' is a tunnel that was part of Fort William McKinley (renamed [[Fort Bonifacio]]), a military base built by the US Military Government of the Philippines in 1902. The tunnel alignment is now part of the [[Bonifacio Global City]] district in [[Taguig]] and barangays in [[Makati]], and is considered a historical site by the Bases Conversion Development Authority. The main roads near it are [[C-5 road|C-5]] and [[Kalayaan Avenue]].<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.archives.gov/exhibits/panoramic_photography/images/57th_infantry_1937.html |title=Panoramic Photography &#124; 57th Infantry (Philippine Scouts).

== History ==

The tunnel was initially used as a passageway for military supplies and war materials. It was first constructed around 1936 with
the help of Igorots. It stretches ((convert|2.24|km)) at an average depth of ((convert|70|ft)) that spans from the [[Pasig River]], to the area now called Pembo and East Rembo in [[Makati]].

The Fort McKinley Tunnel was intended for the creation of an underground aerial bombing-free Air Warning Service of the Army Air Force known as “The Fort McKinley Project”. It was to be a part of the modernization of the country’s communication facilities. Digging for the tunnel began in October 1941.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://www.thefortcity.com/article/featured/future-plans-for-the-fort-bonifacio-war-tunnel|title=Future Plans for The Fort Bonifacio War Tunnel|date=February 16, 2016|website=TheFortCity.com|access-date=January 4, 2018))</ref>

On January 2, 1942, the Japanese entered Manila. They immediately captured Fort McKinley, turning it to one of their important installations and renaming it Sakura Heiei (Cherry Blossom Barracks).

After their arrival in 1942, the Japanese continued extending further the tunnel but left it when Manila’s liberation campaign started in October 1944. As the US Air Force started bombing Manila, the Sakura Heiei’s tunnel served as shelter of the high military officials. On February 13, 1945, the Japanese abandoned Fort McKinley.

In 1949, the base was transferred to the Philippine Government and renamed Fort Bonifacio. It also became the Philippine Army headquarters. The tunnel was made into ammunition storage and supply storeroom and later part of the Philippine Army Museum and Library.  The tunnel was last rehabilitated in 1976.  In 1995, the tunnel was officially closed to the public.
