The Viet Cong was started by the Vietminh, a guerrilla army whose first objective was to oppose Japanese invasion. Later, the Viet Cong successfully fought against the France and the USA.
A guerrilla is an irregular fighter, who fight against his own goverment. A partisan is an irregular soldier, who fight against regular troups from another country in his own country.
It is a civil war. If you engage in war to overthrow the current government, it's called a revolutionary war. If it's a war between people in the same country, it's called a civil war. If it's a group of people fighting against the government, it's called a resistance movement or a liberation movement. If the small group happens to engage in guerrilla tactics against their own government, it's also called a guerrilla war.
Many Filipinos joined the guerrilla movement against the Japanese during World War II in response to the atrocities committed by the Japanese forces, such as torture, mass killings, and forced labor. They also wanted to fight for their country's independence and to support the Allied forces in defeating the Japanese occupation.
The Japanese were invaders and they did horrible things to the Filipino people, so the population fought back the best way they could. My dad fought against the Japanese in the Philippines and took part in the battle for Manilla and it was room by room battle to remove the Japanese from the city.

Luis Mangalus Taruc, a peasant-born from San Luis, Pampanga, was the leader of the HUKBALAHAP (Hukbong Bayan Laban sa mga Hapon) movement. He led the movement in guerrilla warfare against the Japanese.
The Hukbalahap, also known as the Huks, were a Communist guerrilla movement in the Philippines that formed during World War II to fight against Japanese occupation. After the war, they continued to struggle against the Philippine government in a movement that eventually evolved into the Hukbalahap Rebellion.
The Filipino insurrection against the US took the form of guerrilla warfare because the Filipinos were outmatched in terms of weapons and resources by the better-equipped US military. Guerrilla tactics allowed the Filipinos to strike and retreat, using hit-and-run tactics that exploited their knowledge of the local terrain. This type of warfare also played to their strengths of mobility and surprise.

the First March Movement
The Filipino insurrection against the U.S. took the form of guerrilla warfare due to the disparity in military resources between the two sides. The Filipinos utilized guerrilla tactics to counter the superior firepower and resources of the U.S. military, allowing them to negate the technological advantages of their opponents and fight a prolonged resistance campaign. Additionally, the challenging terrain and the support of local communities made guerrilla warfare a more effective strategy for the Filipino insurgents.
The guerrilla tactics were a long way from the close order drill formations. The partisans waged guerrilla warfare against the invaders.
