write 6-10 sentences using the adverbs of time and place about your reaction to the topic: Should we still appreciate Jose P. Laurel's presidency even though he ruled under Japanese orders?
Hardly had the Japanese occupied Manila when the seeds of the Second Philippine Republic were sown. In an attempt to win the loyalty of the Filipinos, Japanese Prime Minister Hideki Tojo, in January 1942, announced that Japan would grant the Philippines “the honor of independence” if the Philippines understood Japan’s “real intentions” in the war and cooperated sincerely with the Japanese. Filipinos were then fighting bitterly together with the Americans against the Japanese invaders in Bataan, Corregidor and other fronts.
A week later, in front of the Japanese Diet, Tojo noted that much progress has been made in cooperating with the Japanese—the Japanese have established a military administration and had successfully prodded several pre-war political leaders to create the Philippine Executive Commission, which would carry out the Japanese plans—and that therefore, plans for independence would be carried out “in the shortest possible time”.
