At the time, the Philippines were a US possession that was scheduled to receive full independence in 1946. Nevertheless, the Philippines were a base for US armed forces and would have to be neutralized once Japan had decided to attack Pearl Harbor. So they had to invade the Philippines to prevent their use by the US as a base for attacking them.
