Philippine History During the Japanese Occupation

 On December 8, 1941, the Japanese invades the Philippines hours after bombing Pearl
Harbor in Hawaii. While the forces of Gen. Douglas MacArthur retreated to Bataan, the
Commonwealth government of President Quezon moved to Corregidor Island. Manila was
declared an open city to prevent further destruction. After the fall of Bataan on April 9, 1942 and
Corregidor, In March 1942, MacArthur & Quezon fled the country and by invitation of President
Roosevelt, the Commonwealth government went into exile to Washington D.C. American and
Filipino forces surrendered in May 6, 1942. Soon a guerrilla war against the Japanese was fought
by the Philippine & American Armies while Filipinos were enduring the cruelty of the Japanese
military against civilians.

Prior to Quezon's exile, he advised Dr. Jose P. Laurel to head and cooperate with the
Japanese civilian government in the hope that the collaboration will lead to a less brutality of the
Japanese towards the Filipinos. Rightly or wrongly, President Laurel and his war time government
was largely detested by the Filipinos.

In October 1944, Gen. MacArthur with President Sergio Osmeña (who assumed the
presidency after Quezon died on August 1, 1944 in exile in Saranac Lake, New York) returned and
liberated the Philippines from the Japanese.
