That depends upon which time frame during the war you are referring to. At the start of the Pacific War in December 1941, the Imperial Japanese Navy was superior in numbers to the U.S. Navy in every major warship category in the Pacific...aircraft carriers (10-3), battleships (10-9), heavy cruisers (18-13), light cruisers (17-11), destroyers (111-80), and submarines (64-55). At the time of the Battle of Leyte Gulf in October 1944, however, the U.S. Navy had an overwhelming superiority in warships and continued to grow every month while the Imperial Navy could not replace it's losses.

How did the Japanese easily occupy the Philippines territories and the American forces in the Philippines?
1. The attack on the Philippines coincided with the Pearl Harbor attack by hours. So there was some "surprise" involved (SURPISE is part of the art of war). 2. The US Forces were cut off from any reinforcements. Back in those days, navies did most of the transporting of men & material. The US Navy was pretty well ruined in the Pacific after December 7, 1941; which of course had been the Japanese plan to begin with...eliminating any outside interference (re-supply/reinforcements). 3. US Naval forces were intact on the US Atlantic Coast, however, it would take a few weeks for them to arrive into the Pacific. What US Naval Forces could arrive by then, would have easily been chewed up by the Imperial Navy; and by then, the Philippines would have fallen anyway.
What are the influences of the Japanese to the Philippines in the fields of education beliefs agriculture architecture arts music and sports dances?
The Japanese were only in the Philippines from about January of '42 until about Oct '44. December 1941 the Japanese were attacking the Philippines; October 1944 was the Leyte Gulf naval battle with land invasions into the Philippines. The Japanese were only "settled into occupation" for less than 36 months (without heavy fighting). Thirty six months was only enough time for Japan to sort out the necessary Philippine people for construction work (forced labor), and begin building up defensive fortifications in the Philippines. In addition to this, the Japanese had to gather the appropiate people with skills to commence other "supportive" functions of the occupation forces. Added to this, was an ongoing "guerilla war" that Japanese forces had to contend with; constant patrols to dig out the insurgents, and then execute them. There was NOT enough time to establish much "entertainment" and "sports" to leave a permanent influence.
