Why did the collaboration happened? So basically,Vargas and Laurel did not, by their own free will, accept the occupation of the Japanese and its power of the country, they made decisions that were for the greater good of the citizens. They were pretending to be collaborators with the Japanese, this is why they were being tagged as traitors, not knowing that they were only doing this to shield Filipinos from danger, torture and even death. They wanted to use their status level in order to smooth things between the Filipinos and the Japanese so that they can live up the ex-presidents expectations from them. During the war, they did everything they could do to protect the people of the Philippines. However, according to the Malacañang page, Vargas, from his own words believed that the Japanese came to as not as enemies but liberating army of fellow orientals. So with this being said, we can see the difference when it comes to the reason why they collaborated with the Japanese. With our first source it is said that it is a form of sacrifice while in our second source, Vargas thought that the Japanese has clear motives with the Filipinos. AUTHOR’S NOTE 1. With this, the author said that Laurel attacks the US for their lack of ability to protect the Philippines. Also, for Laurel the entire reason that the Filipinos collaborated with the Japanese was due to the unpreparedness of the United States on defending the Philippines. 2. This was an interesting argument for Laurel since he was trying to defend himself from the accusations that he and others in the government were not committing treason as a result of their collaboration with the Japanese. With this, Laurel talks about being forced into presidency of the Philippines. He also mentions how he and his wife were against this because it would make him seen as if he were intentionally collaborating with the Japanese. Laurel accept the presidency because he knew that he did not accept this,the Japanese would harm him and his family, also making the suffering of the Filipino even greater. For him, this is simply a sacrifice for his people.

Theory: Colonialism 

The main reason for the collaborations during the Japanese period is the aim of the Japanese to make the Philippines part of the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere under the rule of the Japanese Empire. The objective of this is to form an economic and military union between nations in East and Southest Asia against western colonization. However, the Japanese invasion of the Philippines did not produce a friendly reception from the Filipinos since they were already colonized by the Americans...
