Include a short history stop in your Manolo Fortich sightseeing itinerary.

The local connection to wartime history

The Municipality of Manolo Fortich lists the General MacArthur Landmark in Dicklum among its cultural properties. Its account connects the landmark with General Douglas MacArthur, his family and staff leaving for Australia by B-17 on March 17, 1942.

Visit with time to read and reflect

This is a heritage stop rather than a full day of rides or recreation. Allow time to read any accessible markers and appreciate the local setting. Confirm the correct landmark pin and public access before setting out, and respect any boundaries around nearby property.

Pair history with another stop

Consider making the landmark one part of a wider Manolo Fortich outing. A meal or another confirmed attraction can fill out your day. Keep the historical landmark and the wider Del Monte airstrip area distinct when checking directions so that you arrive at the place you intend to visit.
