Manila American Cemetery and Memorial and Cabanatuan American Memorial
Poignant tributes to military service, the Manila American Cemetery and Memorial and the Cabanatuan American Memorial welcome visitors from around the world—including family members, local guests, and tourists—to honor and remember those who gave their lives during World War II. Tasked with managing and preserving these remarkable sites, the American Battle Monuments Commission worked with Page to design improvements that enhance the visitor experience, address security and maintenance issues, and preserve the sites’ historic integrity.
Subtle changes to Manila’s main gate make the site more welcoming and separate pedestrian and bicycle traffic from vehicles. New perimeter fencing around more than half the site improves the appearance and meets current security needs, while improvements to stormwater management mitigate frequent flood events. At Cabanatuan, the team relocated and redesigned the main gate to account for a planned widening of the main road.
Through thoughtful design and meticulous attention to detail, the renovated entrances and site improvements stand as fitting tributes to the brave individuals honored at both sites, preserving their memory with dignity and respect for generations.
