Yes, I've been. But...
Honestly, i can't remember much of things in my History class about Mc Arthur, and at what grade or year in my prime education Mc arthur was thoroughly discussed. I am probably absent during the discussion. LOL, and all i can remember about Mc Arthur is his famous line of "I SHALL RETURN", and honestly again, i don't even know what makes him famous in our land. Pardon me, but i might be sent back to elementary because of this. Might as well, i need an historian to relate to me the Philippine History and relive any recollection that was left in my cerebrum.
nonetheless, i am happy to see one of Leyte's famous Landmark like the MACARTHUR LANDING MEMORIAL PARK located at Red beach, Palo, Leyte.

and for posterity's sake, i made a trek at the wikipilipinas on the significance of the Memorial park and learned that Japanese tyranny has ended soon after Mac Arthur landed at the Red Beach on October 20, 1944, and that the statue was built to commemorate the historic return of Douglas MacArthur to Philippine Shores.

Girl, kelan ba binuksan 'tong park na 'to? Nung nagpunta ata kami Leyte wala pa to eh :( By the way, ganda ganda mo talaga! :)
ReplyDeleteha ha, history talaga ang tinanong..sa lahat ng subject History and pinaka hate ko...sa dami ng minimemorise na dates, names and places...nyahahaha.. pero sabi pa din sa wiki - ang mac arthur stature ay naitayo sa panahon ng rehimeng marcos at dati itong tinawag na "Imelda park" binalik lang ulit ang pangalang MAc Arthur Park nung pinalayas sa ferdinand marcos sa Pilipinas... whew! :), salamat girl...:)
DeleteHaha! Sorry naman at na surprise quiz pa tuloy kita. Lalo naman ata akong walang alam sa history kasi panahon na ni FVR ata nung nagpunta kami ng Leyte hindi man lamang namin inexplore yang landmark na yan. Toinks.
DeleteSalamat sa suporta sa Happiness Is :) Balik ka ulit pag di ka busy ha? Hugs!
Same here, absent din ata ako sa maraming lessons sa history, halos wala na rin ako matandaan sa history eh...hehe! Anyways, I've been to Leyte many many years back (work-related visit), sad to say, I've never been to any historical or tourist attractions of the province, kakalungkot. Sana mapuntahan ko ulit ang Leyte.

Nice snaps! I am proud to say that "I have been here!!!" Kaso lang, back then, I didn't have a digital camera yet. I had a filmed camera and I do have some snaps in this place, too, but when Sendong flooded our home in CDO, I am told that all of my albums got washed out. I am so sad I could cry thinking about it :(
ReplyDeleteAnyway, thanks for joining last week's TT sis! Please join again; linky for this week is now up! :)
