Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition)
MARCH 20, 1942
U.S. General Douglas MacArthur issues his speech “I came out of Bataan and I shall Return” in a small railway township in Terowie, South Australia.
In his journey to Adelaide, MacArthur shortened his words to “I came through and I shall return”.
These words made him dear to the Filipinos and repeats it often in public appearances until his return two and a half years later.
