They wanted their emperor to stay in power.
The Japanese surrender was signed on the USS Missouri.
The Philippines (which were a Commonwealth of the US) were attacked just hours after Pearl Harbor, on December 8, 1941. Between December, 1941 and May, 1942, superior Japanese forces took control of the islands, the last being the Bataan peninsula and the island of Corregidor. Almost all of the Philippines was retaken between October and December of 1944.
There are several Japanese companies in the Philippines. The top Japanese companies in the Philippines are i-BRIDGE, JGC Philippines, and Fujitsu.
The Japanese completely conquered the Philippines. Americans lost.
In May of 1942, Lieutenant General Jonathan Wainwright surrendered the island-fortress of Corregidor to its Japanese besiegers. After five months of intermittent attacks and over a month-long siege, the defenders of the well-fortified island, located at the entrance to Manila Bay in the Philippines, were running out of supplies and ammunition, exhausted, and sick. With the fall of Corregidor, official military resistance to the Japanese by American forces all but ended.

Yes there ARE GHOSTS in Corregidor island. They are spirits of Japanese, American and Filipino soldiers who perished during the war! One particular disturbed souls is that of an American soldier who committed suicide before he could be killed by the Japanese soldiers

The surrender of American forces in the Philippines during World War II took place on May 6, 1942. General Jonathan Wainwright, who had assumed command after General Douglas MacArthur's departure, surrendered his troops to the Japanese. This marked the end of the Philippines Campaign and led to the infamous Bataan Death March.

They didn't surrender, They had lost the battle and retreated from the victorious American Naval Forces.
The Japanese occupation of the Philippines was the period in the history of the Philippines between 1942 and 1945, when the Empire of Japan occupied the previously American-controlled Philippines during World War II.The invasion of the Philippines started on December 8, 1941, ten hours after the attack on Pearl Harbor. As at Pearl Harbor, the American aircraft were entirely destroyed on the ground. Lacking air cover, the American Asiatic Fleet in the Philippines withdrew to Java on December 12, 1941. General Douglas MacArthur escaped Corregidor on the night of March 11, 1942 for Australia, 4,000 km away. The 76,000 starving and sick American and Filipino defenders on Bataan surrendered on April 9, 1942, and were forced to endure the infamous Bataan Death March on which 7-10,000 died or were murdered. The 13,000 survivors on Corregidor surrendered on May 6.For over three years, right to the day of the surrender of Japan, the Philippines were to suffer grievously under military occupation. General MacArthur discharged his promise to return to the Philippines on October 20, 1944. The landings on the island of Leyte were accomplished by an amphibious force of 700 vessels and 174,000 army and navy servicemen. Through December 1944, the islands of Leyte and Mindoro were cleared of Japanese soldiers.Contents[hide]
