SCR No. 20 On the morning of October 20, 1944, American forces landed on Red Beach in the municipality of Palo, near Leyte’s capital, Tacloban. Landing on the beachhead that day were Filipino and American leaders, notably General Douglas MacArthur, President Sergio Osmeña, and Brigadier General Carlos P. Romulo. The invasion of the island of Leyte began the campaign for the liberation of the Philippines from the Imperial Japanese forces, fulfilling MacArthur’s promise to return to the islands more than two years earlier. The landing also marked the re-establishment of the Commonwealth Government on Philippine soil after years of government-in-exile in the United States. The Battle of Leyte lasted from October 20 to December 31, 1944, resulting in a victory for the Allied forces. The Battle of Leyte was a watershed moment in the Pacific war theatre, culminating in the end of almost three years of Japanese occupation of the Philippines. Since the post-1965 family reunification act, many more Filipinos came to America --- and continue to immigrate. Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 20, a.k.a. Leyte Landing Commemoration Day, was filed with the California Secretary of State on August 29, 2013. Janet Alvarado, Curator of The Alvarado Project, said: “This bill officially recognizes how our freedom was gained so bravely. We will always remember the role of the U.S. Filipino 1st and 2nd Infantry Regiments in fighting to liberate the Philippines.” ABOUT THE COLLABORATING ORGANIZATIONS The Community Child Care Council (4Cs) of Santa Clara County is proud to serve the community of the greater Silicon Valley and has been doing so for more than 40 years. 4Cs is a 501(c) non-profit, community-based agency that provides a variety of comprehensive services and serves as the community child care link for families and child care professionals who live and work in Santa Clara County, California. 4Cs is also a provider of the Senior Wellness Program at JTS Northside Community Center, promoting healthy aging, wellness, and physical activity for older adults in the community.
