Politics (Comparison)

• They are not similar.• • They have imposed

different sets of laws though both seemed to have the same intentions and that is to remodel current Philippine government and promise independence.

Politics (Conclusion)

• The Americans wanted to control the Philippines by implementing laws, while the Japanese wanted control using brute force

• Most of the laws that they established was to have more power from us.

• As the Philippines were recovering from the Spanish regime, in creation of their new government, colonizers took advantage on giving the country “aid” in the form of promising laws and acts that falsely ensures freedom.

• Payne-Aldrich Act • Underwood-Simmons

Act • Homestead • Free Patent • Selling of Friar Lands• Infrastructure projects

like Baguio

Economic

• Black Market and buy and sell through selling of cable wires and electric wires to the japanese

• Philippine financial institutions were crippled, isolated and denied of hard currency

• Inflation due to lack of hard currency • Introdution of Mickey Mouse Money • High demand but there was no supply

of goods • Hoarding of basic commodities • Cotton and copra was assigned in the

Philippines to be planted

Economic (Comparison)

• With regards to the economics, it is evident that both are different. The Americans provided laws in relations to tarrifs, lands, imports, exports and this improved the economy of the Philippines while the Japanese used Philippine resources as much as they can and this caused caused the economy to decline.

Cultural (Conclusion)

• Both colonizers took advantage of our national resources.

• More products are offered to us but then we lost more than what we gained

• The motives of both colonizers can be seen clearly here though the American economic strategy can be considered as a cover for their initial plan to take advantage on exporting goods. The Japanese was clear in torturing the Filipinos by starving them.

much from the Americans like industrialization and modernization but for the Japanese, we lost so much.

• No as the Japanese showed negative impact on the culture of the Philippines including censorship and restrictions while the American period helped flourish the country’s culture by imparting their own

Socio-cultural Religious-Educational (Conclusion)

• They are different in such as way that even though they spread part of the culture, it has caused several unpredictable effects to that of the Filipinos.

• On the other hand, the Japanese censored newspapers and media and every single thing was under the Japanese rule.

FILIPINO RESPONSE

Japan Supporters1. Marking's Guerillas2. Hunter's Guerillas3. HUKBALAHAP

Filipino Response (Comparison)

• They believe that befriending the Americans would bring them independence or that it would be better if we were a state of America.

• Similar because these people resided to the US and the Japanese people

• No as some of the pro-American people were just forced to sign peace treaties and some served as political instruments during both eras. MAKAPILI on the other hand was delegated by the gov't.

Filipino Response (Conclusion)

• Some Filipinos had their own reasons for siding with the country's colonizers; and some were also forced.
