How did the location of the Philippine Islands make them important to both Japan and the US in World War 2?
In simple terms the Philippine Islands was crucial to Japan's effort to control the Southwest Pacific, seize the resource-rich Dutch East Indies, and protect its Southeast Asia flank. For the U.S, control of these islands would hurt the Japanese war effort and provide the U.S. with much needed bases near Japan, from which they could control this area, and launch attacks on Japan.

Are Filipinos Asian or Pacific Islander?
There is no simple answer to this question! Filipinos are an Austronesian ethnic group native to the islands of the Philippines. The Filipino People are of Asian and Pacific Descent, through their Austronesian Ancestors. The Philippine Islands are considered Asian, simply because of their geographic location in Southeast Asia. Their culture is considered by some to be Pacific Islander, however, others claim their culture is unique due to their Austronesian heritage. As for race, the Philippine Islands are known to be one of the most diverse countries in Asia. This diversity includes influences from Spain, China, India, Japan, the Arab nations, and America. The 2010 US Census included the Philippine Islands/Filipino in the Asian category.
