The Japanese intended to invade and take over as many countries in their region as possible to obtain their resources. The Philippines were just one of many places they invaded. At the time the Philippines had recently been a part of the US, having been taken from the Spanish during the Spanish-American War and there were (and still are) many US bases on the island for their strategic value.
