The Promise Fulfilled: An Anchor of History
The landing occurred on October 20, 1944, marking the beginning of the end of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines and the largest naval battle in history (Battle of Leyte Gulf).
After famously promising "I shall return" when forced to leave in 1942, General MacArthur waded ashore at Red Beach with Philippine President Sergio Osmeña and his staff.
The site commemorates the liberation of the Philippines and stands as a symbol of American-Filipino camaraderie during World War II.

Key Features of the Memorial Park
The Statues
The central attraction features seven larger-than-life bronze statues: General MacArthur, President Osmeña, General Carlos P. Romulo, and four other members of the landing party, captured in mid-wade.
The Tidal Pool
The statues stand on a shallow man-made pool that reflects the figures, enhancing the dramatic effect.
Red Beach
The beach itself, though named "Red Beach" by the US military for identification purposes (and not due to bloodshed), is a quiet, unassuming coastal area today.
