    General Douglas Macarthur's Attack On The Philippines

    The Japanese did make an agreement that they would giver independence for the islands after occupation, but they still organized a Council of State where they directed civil affairs. This lasted until October 1943 which was when they declared the Philippines as an independent republic. Since they have already been captured by the Japanese, most of the Philippine elites started to serve under the Japanese. Among those, there were a lot of efforts to protect the Philippines from the harsh treatments from the Japanese rule, the families and personal interest protections, and the belief that the Philippines will one day be in an advanced position among the other Asian countries. Throughout the Philippine occupation, the Japanese had some big problems with them. There was an increase on the use of effective underground and guerrilla activity, which are like ambushes or sabotages, that had hurted the Japanese military. These guerilla organizations were created by 260,000 people who were the members of the anti-Japanese. These people were increasing day by day, and they were so effective to the point where Japan only got to control twelve provinces out of the forty-eight they had in the beginning. The major element of resistance in the Central Luzon area was created by the Huks, Hukbalahap, or the People's Anti-Japanese Army organized in early 1942. They were guided and commanded throughout by the leadership of Luis Taruc. Luis Taruc was one of the big members of the communist party during the 1939. These Anti-Japanese Army had control of at least 30,000 people and had huge commands over the Luzon. Their guerilla tactics that they had were right next to the United States Armed…
