Historical event of the
Japanese Occupation
Between the year of 1941-1945

It started in (December 8, 1941) when the 'invasion of
island happened and in (December 24, 1941) Japanese
forces were able to land and march on the Northern
area of the philippines.
The japanese occupation of the philippine
occured between 1942-1945, when imperial
japan occupied the commonwealth of the
Philippines during world war ll.
The Bataan and the fortress island of
corregidor were the bases for the
Philippine resistance against the
japanease and over 76,000 starving and
sick American and Filipino defenders in

Almost all newspaper in English were stoped by the
japanese
During these time, there were no freedom of speech and
of the press.
Victoria Abelardo has described the Filipino writing during
the japanese occupation as being pessimistic and bitter.
Japan occupied the Philippines for over
three years, until the surrender of Japan.
A highly effective guerilla campaign by
Philippine resistance forces controlled
sixty percent of the islands, mostly jungle
and mountain areas.
MacArthur supplied them by submarine,
and sent reinforcements and officers.
Filipinos remained loyal to the United
States, partly because of the American
guarantee of independence, and also
because the Japanese had pressed large
numbers of Filipinos into work details and
even put young Filipino women into
brothels.
General MacArthur kept his promise to return to
the Philippines on October 20, 1944. The landings
on the island of Leyte were accompanied by a
force of 700 vessels and 174,000 men.
Through December 1944, the islands of Leyte and
Mindoro were cleared of Japanese soldiers.
During the campaign, the Imperial
Japanese Army conducted a suicidal
defense of the islands. Cities such as
Manila were reduced to rubble. And
around 500,000 Filipinos died during the
Japanese Occupation Period.
