My husband visited me for the 1st time in my place Tacloban City, Leyte where I grew up and went high school and college. I was not born in there as I was born in Mindanao, which is quite far from Leyte when you ride a bus and car, but for a plane, it will take perhaps about 2 hours and half, I am not sure since there is no plane from Tacloban to Mindanao that I know of.
Anyhow, I am talking about Tacloban since is where a place my husband visited me and met for the 1st time. When he was there, I did bring him where Gen. Douglas Mc Arthur statue or monument which is located in Palo, Leyte where about 25-30 minutes away drive by riding a jeepney, and car from where I live in. My family and I live in Palo, Leyte before we live in Tacloban City. Palo, Leyte where Gen. Douglas McArthur first landed with his troops in the Philippines on Oct. 20, 1944. McArthur Park is one of tourist attraction and where foreigners come, visit, and take pictures. I remember that there is sometimes a concert in McArthur Park and during Oct. 20, where people gather and celebrate the anniversary, which is called “Leyte Landing,” and this will happen soon as Oct. 20 is approaching and that is Monday of next week and I never forget the date since Oct. 20 is my sister’s birthday. The anniversary is done yearly, I have not really witnessed or been once during the anniversary, and perhaps one day if I am in Philippines, I could join the celebration.
