A very moving memorial. The grounds are kept so well and the lay out is very well designed to make it a very moving memorial. I had no idea the Americans lost so many soldiers before my visit to the memorial. Lest we forget.

I visited with my wife. It is well laid out and beautifully kept. Very moving to walk around looking at all the names of the fallen.

This is a good memorial for the Heroes of the Philippines and America. There is no entrance fee and the place has a very good Landscape done, people are doing an excellent work in maintaining it. Huge trees and well mowed lawn all around. In the Walls of Heroes you can see the important battles of the Philippines, very nicely... More

Please be aware that you are entering sacred grounds and the expected behavior is that of a U.S. Military Installation. You are required to show your passport upon entry and to review all rules pertaining to the Memorial. You can drive into the grounds but for maximum effect and views I suggest parking near the gate and walking. BRING WATER.... More

This is an excellent memorial to our (American) fallen soldiers. Immaculate and well landscaped, the caretaker, Hubert has always been so helpful and truly cares about his job.

It's very picturesque and peaceful. An apt setting for this monument. Well maintained and conducive to reflection, you can walk the grounds thinking of the soldiers who fought in the pacific in ww2. There's also the mural that shows the battles that were fought. It's a sight to behold on memorial day.

I love World War II History! I've been living in Manila for more than 10 years, until my bf brought me here a few months ago. Imagine I never thought this place is so beautiful, green, tranquil and educational. Reading through the names of those American and Filipino soldiers who died during the Battle of the Philippines and New Guinea,... More

It is such a large piece of the Manila landscape, and I had a map showing the location, but the taxi driver still did not know it, or how to get there. I had to direct him. Staff are very warm and welcoming, and gave a personal presentation to us. We then walked freely around. It is very educational, but... More

On my last day in Manila I headed for the American cemetery. I was very moved by the enormity and tranquility of the cemetery. It has been well thought out and designed and it was an honor to visit and pay my respects to the fallen. The gardens are meticulously kept and the memorials are beautifully laid out. Lest we...
