MACARTHUR LANDING MEMORIAL NATIONAL PARK. Commonly known as MacArthur Park, is one of Leyte’s significant landmarks. It is where the famous bronze statue of General Douglas MacArthur is found which commemorates his historic return to the island of Leyte on the early afternoon of October 20, 1944. Built along with the stutue of the brave General are his landing Filipino companions - then President Sergio Osmeña, General Carlos Romulo and four other soldiers. Because of the park’s significance in the history of the Philippines, the same has been declared as a National Historical Landmark in the year 2004.
Inscribed on a marble wall in front of the bronze statues is General MacArthur’s promise to return which have been kept in the hearts of all Leyteños. Indeed, a well-preserved promise that while it has already been fulfilled, it continues to give hope to the present generation.
