During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines from 1942-1945:
1. The Japanese confiscated vehicles, horses, and other resources, and many farms and businesses were left idle. Medicine became scarce and expensive, and many Filipinos died from diseases like malaria.
2. The Japanese banned English publications and American cultural influences, instead implementing policies to promote Japanese language education and culture in schools.
3. Transportation was limited as the Japanese controlled oil and rubber supplies. Public vehicles disappeared and bicycles became the main mode of transport. Food shortages led to widespread hunger and deaths.
