2nd Slide: What we’ll discuss
3rd Slide: The Japanese Occupation of the Philippines during World War II was a
pivotal moment in the country's history. Beginning in 1942, Japanese forces
invaded the Philippines and quickly established a brutal regime that would remain
in power for over three years. Under Japanese rule, the Second Philippine
Republic was established, with Jose P. Laurel serving as its president.
The era of the Japanese Occupation in the Phillipines guys was a very traumatic
event in our country. Sa ilang 3-4 years of Occupation sa atoang motherland mao
ra siya gi considered as mga darkest past of the country. Dili man siya 333 years
nga gisakop pero considered jud siya nga one of the most darkest past of history
in the philippines, daghang mga gipatay diri sauna like naa silay rule nga one
japenese na mamatay is equivalent to 10 filipino na patyon murag silbe balos sa
atoa sa Japanese. There were also a lot of na ban na mga butang and eventually
diri ang first Martial Law of the Philippines nahitabo. The economy of the
philippine was very poor and wala jud siya nasalbar. But before diving deep more,
maka ask pud ta og asa man jud gasugod ang tanan? Gi unsa man pag anhi diri sa
mga japanese?

4th Slide: 2nd World War – Pearl Harbor.

As we all know The attack on Pearl Harbor was a surprise military strike by the
Imperial Japanese Navy Air Service upon the United States against the American
naval base at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, just before 8:00 a.m. on Sunday,
December 7, 1941.
Exp: Mao to ni gi ingon ni sir last Monday that there was this little island in hawaii
na gi atake sa Imperial Japanese Navy, sila moy pakana sa second world war. Pearl
Harbor acutally happened in the middle of the second world war. So mao to, diri
mag stem ang tanan kay ang kalaban sa Japanese aning time-ma is the American
and sa kakusog sa armas sa Japanese napilde ang Americans, kaning mga
americans which was led by Douglas Mc Arthur, diba kaila man ta ani niya katong
ni ingon og “I shall Return” mao na siya tong famous kaayong quote. Kani si
Douglas Mc Arthur since kapildehon sila ni flee sila sa Philippines since naa pud
diri ang ilahang mga naval base nakalocate - which mao to nisunod ang Japenese
nila sa Philippines. Ni atake ang mga Hapon 10 hours after Pearl Harbor and
eventually led up to the colonization of the Japanese to the Philippines.
4th Slide Second Bullet: While many Filipinos initially welcomed the Japanese as
liberators from American colonial rule, this sentiment was not shared by all. Some
Filipinos recognized the danger posed by the Japanese and feared for their safety.
Exp: Although at first chada ra kaayo ilahang pakikitungo sa atoang mga ancestors
since The Japanese propaganda campaign promised to create a new, more
equitable order in Asia, with the Philippines playing a central role. The message of
the "Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere" felt by every filipinoes kay lage
ganahan na sila ma end ang colonization sa Americans diri sa Philippines. Pero
since dili man jud tanang chada sa pamati tinuod mao to as the occupation of the
Japanese diri sa atoa nadugay nakita najud nila ang true colors sa Japanese.
Which led up to sa pag rebilde sa mga Pinoy. So what are these true colors man?
Before 4th Slide: The Japanese imposed 12 rules for the Philippines.

Slide 5-6:
1. Salute to the Japanese Soldiers when you meet them.
2. Japanese flags should be displayed at every home door.
3. Everyone must put on sunrise armband on the left arm
4. Everybody should have the ceritificate of residence
5. Whenever you see a Japanses Soldier you must welcome them and not escape
from them. If you escape you are considered an enemy.
6. You shall not tell false prices.
7. You are absolutely prohibited to walk unti the sun-set until sunrise without
carrying lamps. If no lamps you will be shot by the patrolling japanese soldier.
8. Dont be fooled by the propaganda of chinese and communists.
9. Accidental firing of arms and robbery will be punished.
10. Holding of arms is allowed by the army. But must be permitted by the mayor.
11. Jobless people can be part of the Japenese Soldier but
12. Must be obedient to the orders of the governor and mayor.
During the occupation of the Japanese in the Philippines, they ran the Philippines
with an iron hand. They instilled fear declared martial law. They imposed curfews,
they ordered that anyone who opposes them or even those who are just accused
of going against the Japanese were punished and killed.

Exp: Additionally Singing of the national anthem and raising of the national flag
was prohibited. Use of radios and transmitters was also prohibited. Political
parties, elections, and public assemblies were put to a halt. School, printing
presses, telegraph, and radio stations were closed down. Everything was
controlled by the Japanese. Some brutalities also nga ni occur sir during the
Japanese era is the
Manila Massacare (kato ning ni try og form og alliance and Pinoy and American
troops to reclaim Manila sir from the Japanese daghang namatay diri tungod ana
nga movement), also the
Bataan Death March (kani siya sir very famous ni kato ning mga captived na
prisoners mga American and Pinoys nga against sa Japanese gipa lakaw sila
Bataan to Capas which was 95.9 km. While galakaw sila ilaha silang bokbokon, dili
tagaag tubig og pagkaon, and even worse patyon sila. Last famous brutality pud
sir is the
Rape of Manila (kani siya nahitabo around Feburary 1945. Target ani kay Women
and Children, mosulod sila sa balay sa mga baye and bata and rape-pon nila ang
and patyon. Estimated nila sir and guys mga 20,000 deaths recorded naa pay wala
narecord nga deaths). This concluded how brutal the Japanese is to our people.
7th Slide: The Japanese Propaganda: Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere
First Bullet: It was an imperialist propaganda concept created and promulgated
for occupied Asian populations during the first third of the Showa era by the
government and military of the Empire of Japan. It extended greater than East
Asia and promoted the cultural and economic unity of Northeast Asians,
Southeast Asians, and Oceanians. It also declared the intention to create a self-
sufficient "bloc of Asian nations led by the Japanese and free of Western powers".
First Bullet Exp: Basically saying sir, this is the promise nila na they will help
reclaim our glory and help us become a better nation. Murag ilahang himoon and
atong economy and culture in the same way that they do in their own country.
The Propaganda of the Japanese was the ‘MAKAPILI” kaning makapili sir kay if
ever man gale naay suspected nga spy or mga rebelde sa isa ka town then they
would bring all together the mga tawo or residents then a MAKAPILI member will
choose while covering their faces with a bamboo mask gale sir except ilahang
mata murag wala ra gi coveran, ilahang papilion ang MAKAPILI member kinsa ang
suspected nga spy or rebelde which eventually if mapili sila sila moy bokbokon og
patyon. Wala sila labot if tinuod ba or dili basta if mapilian ka then you will be
tortured and executed.

8th: The 2nd Republic of the Philippines. On September 20, 1943 KALIBAPI was
created. KALIBAPI is also known as “Kapisanan ng Paglilingkod sa Bagong
Pilipinas”, it was created by chairman Vargas way back in December 4, 1942
through the Executive Order no. 109. This KALIBAPI is the propaganda of the
Japanese Administration to change the minds and attituded ofthe Filipino people
to the concept of the GEACP, because a lot of Filipinos have a mindset that they
were Europeans and not Asians because of the four-century colonization of Spain
in our country. The Japanese hoped to develop this association into a popular
movement that would lead to the establishment of a "New Philippines" among
the populations.

Exp: Pero sa sige nila og persuade wala jud na dala ang mga pinoy sa mga gi ingon
sa mga Japanese. Wala na ni believe ang mga Pinoy sa mga Japanese.
9th: Battle of Manila - The Battle of Manila was a month-long battle fought
between American and Filipino forces against the Japanese army from February 3
to March 3, 1945 during the final stages of World War II. The battle was significant
because it marked the end of the Japanese occupation of the Philippines and
paved the way for the country's eventual independence. However, it was also one
of the most devastating and destructive battlesof the war, resulting in massive
loss of life and extensive damage to the city of Manila
The battle resulted in extensive damage to the city of Manila, with much of the
urban landscape reduced to rubble and ash. The city's infrastructure, including
roads, bridges, and buildings, was severely damaged or destroyed, leaving much
of the city in ruins. The Manila cathedral, one of the city's most iconic landmarks,
was heavily damaged during the battle and had to be rebuilt in the postwar
period.
The battle also resulted in massive loss of life, with estimates of civilian casualties
ranging from 100,000 to 500,000. Many civilians were caught in the crossfire
between American and Japanese forces, while others were killed in acts of
brutality and revenge by Japanese soldiers.

American and Filipino forces

also suffered heavy casualties
during the battle, with over
1,000 American and 6,000
Filipino soldiers killed or
wounded. The battle was one
of the
bloodiest of the war in the
Pacific, and left a lasting
impact on the city of Manila
and its
people. Despite the heavy
losses, the battle was a crucial
victory for American and
Filipino forces, as it marked
the end of the Japanese
occupation and set the stage
for
the Philippines' eventual
independence

10th Slide: The end of an Era.

Exp: The surrender of Japan in August 1945 marked the end of World War II in
Asia and had a significant impact on the Philippines. The end of the occupation
brought both relief and uncertainty to the Philippine people, who had suffered
greatly under Japanese rule The legacy of the resistance movements during the
Japanese occupation of the Philippines was significant. These movements played
a crucial role in inspiring future movements for independence and social justice.
The resistance fighters were often ordinary people who had been pushed to take
up arms against their oppressors. They fought with incredible bravery and
determination, and their actions served as a source of inspiration for future
generations. The Japanese Occupation of the Philippines during World War II was
a significant period in the country's history. It brought immense suffering and
hardship to the Philippine people, but it also inspired acts of courage, heroism,
and resilience
