Why was the US unable to defend the Philippines successfully in world war 2?

Because the Japanese numbers were too large at the time and had a tactical advantage, they knew the islands because in some parts of Japan the terrain is just like that. They also had the Banzai charge. They fearlessly charged the American lines. But after a while the U.S. returned to the Philippines and took them back. You aren't an idiot as this question isn't really that easy.
