What did the us lose in World War 2?
Soon after Japan attacked pearl harbor, the Japanese captured numerous Islands in the pacific that were at that time US territories. These include Guam, The Philippines etc. and they weren't returned to US control until near the end of the war when the US pacific forces retook them. A few years after the war an independence movement in the Philippines (primarily brought on by the outcome of the war) caused the us to give up control of the islands, so you could say the us lost the Philippines as a result of ww2. In addition to that, the us lost tens of thousands of American lives and thousands of vehicles and aircraft on foreign battlefields.

What is the liberation of the Philippines from the Japanese?
The liberation of the Philippines is exactly that - the liberation of the Philippines, from the Japanese imperial army, by allied forces in World War 2. The Japanese invaded the Philippines in order to get resources, capture supply routes and to create a Japanese controlled "buffer zone" around mainland Japan. Allied forces, lead by MacArthur eventually retook the Philippines several years later and went on, along with other generals, to destroy the Japanese imperial army and subdue Japan's aggression. Whilst in the Philippines the Japanese army, as with other places inflicted great harm and hostility on the local people and captured soldiers.
