The McArthur Landing Site in Palo, Leyte was created to commemorate
McArthur’s famous parting words “I Shall Return” that he made good of
his promise before he left the country after its downfall to the
Japanese Imperial Army during
World War II. This famous event took place on October 20, 1944. The
Allied landing on Leyte Island’sea shores was a pivotal moment in the
history of the War in the Pacific and in the human struggle for liberty.
The Leyte landing is a central event in the long history
of friendship between the peoples of the Philippines and the United States.
