    The Japanese did make an agreement that they would giver independence for the islands after occupation, but they still organized a Council of State where they directed civil affairs. This lasted until October 1943 which was when they declared the Philippines as an independent republic. Since they have already been captured by the Japanese, most of the Philippine elites started to serve under the Japanese. Among those, there were a lot of efforts to protect the Philippines from the harsh treatments from the Japanese rule, the families and personal interest protections, and the belief that the Philippines will one day be in an advanced position among the other Asian countries.

They were guided and commanded throughout by the leadership of Luis Taruc. Luis Taruc was one of the big members of the communist party during the 1939.
