Monument for Philippine army for the peace and protection for the freedom
This monument is located at Gwansan-dong, Deokyang-gu, Tongilro. Due to the invasion from North Korea on June 25, 1950, Philippine armies participated in the war on September 19, 1950, achieving many of the accomplishments. Therefore, this monument was established to comfort the spirits of them and commemorate their accomplishment for their descendants. Images and facial expressions of 50 soldiers engraved on the monument show how our citizens pursue the freedom and peace out of the fear and desperation. The relieve on the front of monument expresses the folk culture in Philippine.
