I would like to post a friendly comment regarding the recent article about Gen. MacArthur’s landing in Bonuan on November 9, 1945. Actually, the landing took place on January 9, 1945 on a 20 mile-wide beach-front from Lingayen to San Fabian (Bonuan included). There are MacArthur’s forces landing memorials in Lingayen, Bonuan & San Fabian. I have researched extensively in the Internet about Pangasinan during the Liberation from Japan in World War II as well as own some books by John Toland “The Rising Sun”, “Liberation of the Philippines” by Stanley Falk, and “Return to the Philippines” by Rafael Steinberg.
