General Douglas MacArthur returned to the Philippines on October 20, 1944, fulfilling his promise to come back after he had been forced to leave in 1942 during the Japanese occupation. His arrival marked the beginning of the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese forces during World War II. This moment was famously accompanied by his iconic statement, "I have returned."
