MacArthur Landing Memorial National Park, National Historical Landmark in Palo, Philippines
The memorial park features seven bronze statues depicting General MacArthur and his entourage standing in a shallow pool near Red Beach.
General Douglas MacArthur landed at this location on October 20, 1944, marking the beginning of the Philippines liberation during World War II.
The memorial site includes bilingual markers in English and Filipino explaining the significance of MacArthur's return to fulfill his promise.
Located 5 kilometers south of Tacloban, this 6.78-hectare coastal park contains a museum with historical photographs and MacArthur's memorabilia.
The bronze sculptures, designed by Anastacio Caedo, stand at double life size and represent the exact moment captured in Gaetano Faillace's photograph.
