It was not staged. MacArthur went ashore several times in secret so as not to inform the Japanese of his presence on the beachhead to oversee the progress of the invasion. He then officially landed on Red Beach, Palo, Leyte with then president Sergio Osmena and General Carlos P. Romulo. That accounts for why he had different people with him on some Leyte landing photos.

General Douglas MacArthur
The invasion was at Incheon (or Inchon) in Korea.
It was General Douglas MacArthur (January 26, 1880 - April 5, 1964)."I said, to the people of the Philippines whence I came, I shall return. Tonight, I repeat those words: I shall return!" (After his arrival in Australia from the Philippines, March 30, 1942)"I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God, our forces stand again on Philippine soil." (On landing in Leyte, Philippines,October 17, 1944)
He landed in Palo, Leyte and made good his promise, "I shall return," to liberate the Philippines from the Japanese. The Leyte landing happened on October 20, 1944.
General Douglas MacArthur led the army invasion of Leyte. Admiral Chester Nimitz was overall commander of the Navy strategy from his base in Hawaii. Admiral Thomas Kincaid, Admiral William Halsey, and Admiral Marc Mitscher were in command of the tactics of their own fleets or carrier groups.
