Located in the center of a street intersection near the airport access road.

 The monument consists of a granite marker with an explanatory plaque and three other murals which commemorate Philippine history to include their 1945 liberation. 

This war memorial preserves the site of General MacArthur’s “second landing” on December 15, 1944, at the coast of Aroma Beach in San Jose on Mindoro.

Some background on the Mindoro landings from WW2 Museum Facebook page:

The Battle of Mindoro was a battle fought between the US and Japan, during the Philippines Campaign, in mid December 1944. Before American forces could consider assaulting Luzon, the largest island in the Philippines and home to the capital city Manila, advance airbases had to be established so that the troops could move under the protection of friendly aircraft. Brigadier General William Dunkel and his troops sailed for Mindoro under the protection of the Seventh Fleet by way of Surigao Strait. The landing took place on 15 December completely surprising the Japanese, who thought Negros or Panay would be the next American target, the landing was unopposed. Carrier-born aircraft circled above also nearly unchallenged, but many Kamikaze aircraft slipped through and caused considerable damage to American shipping including sinking two landing craft, though in the grand scheme of the invasion the sacrifices achieved little. By 28 Dec, two fighter bases were ready for the Luzon invasion scheduled for 9 Jan. With Mindoro lost, Japan also lost the use of Manila as a central transfer station of naval transports.

 Although it is overshadowed by the prior landing in Leyte, Mindoro is actually considered as one of MacArthur's most strategic moves which paved the way for the liberation of Manila. 

The attack force consisted of the following organization:

From US Army History:

 The Western Visayan Task Force, which executed this operation, consisted of three groups of the US Navy arrived in Mindoro Straits in the early morning of December 15. 1944:

 1) Mindoro Attack Group of R / Adm. Artur D. Struble (Task Group 77.3) (Force consisted of 8 destroyer-transports, 30 LSTs, 12 LSMs, 31 LCIs, supported by 10 large and 7 small minesweepers, 14 other small craft, and 12 escorting destroyers)

       2) Close Covering Group of R / Adm. ‘Count’ Berkley (Force Consisted of:  1 heavy cruiser, 2 light cruisers, and 7 destroyers_

       3) Motor Torpedo Boat under Lt. Adm. N. Burt Davis (Force consisted of 23 PT Boats)

4)  Heavy Covering Group, (Force consisted of 3 older battleships and 6 escort carriers)

The Landing force was commanded by Brig. General William C. Dunckel. 

Principal ground units were the 503rd Parachute Regimental Combat Team commanded by Colonel George Jones and the 19th Regimental Combat Team of the 24th Infantry Division.

Major Army Air Corps units included the 310^th Bomber Wing and the 85^th Fighter Wing     

Landings occurred at Caminawit Point (Red Beach), San Agustin (Blue Beach) and Adela (Green Beach).

The day before the landing, Admiral Struble’s flagship, the USS Nashville (CL-43) was hit by a kamikaze killing 133 and wounding 190 including the Task Force leader, BG William Dunckel. (Dunckel still landed with the ground force the next day).  Struble shifted his flag to the USS Dashiell (DD-659).  While the landing was a great success, Kamikaze hits took their toll sinking and damaging many ships.
