Counter Stamp: Macarthur Has Returned! Leyte October 1944
Often during and after the war notes with Advertising and Slogans where replicated domestically by unknown entities to continue the campaign/s with the worthless demonetized JIM notes.
Here is a very prime example of possible wood plate carving from the original Slogan, also it has been reported to have been only on the 10 Pesos notes verses this 100P note as well as the original stamp being printed on Obverse side.

"MACARTHUR HAS RETURNED! LEYTE. * * * * OCTOBER 19, 1944" Overprint ND (1942) Pick 108b Schwan-Boling 2235
A post-liberation production that is discussed on page 628 of World War Two Remembered by C. Frederick Schwan and Joseph E. Boling. A few of these appeared in 1978 with a story that the overprint was prepared aboard the USS Nashville. This was the ship that General MacArthur made his famous "I have returned" landing on Leyte. The dark blue overprint was applied to a note with a blue face and therefore it did not show up well. The printing was subsequently discarded and a few of the notes were saved by the sailor that worked on the project. A block PD note is in this lot and block PE has also been observed with the overprint. The Schwan-Boling reference says, No others seem to have appeared since the first group, so the story may be correct.
