I believe you mean: What happens during World War 2 in the Philippines?

If that is what you mean then here is a simple outline.

The US owned the Philippines at the time (1941). Japan invaded the Philippines soon after they bombed Pearl Harbor Hawaii. The Army forces fought the Japanese and were driven back to the Bataan Peninsula. They continued to fight until they were basically starving and did not have enough ammo to fend off the Japanese. Their military General MacArthur had left the Philippines at the beginning when President Roosevelt ordered him to leave the islands and head to Australia.

The US Army forces were taken as prisoners by the Japanese when they were forced to surrender. Filipinos who fought with the American were also taken as prisoners. The POWs had to march a long way to a camp called Camp O'Donnell. On this march thousands of men (both American and Filipino) died along the way because the Japanese would not give them any fluids or food. They killed off anyone who could not keep marching.

Some of the POWs were taken to Japan and other places. Many died in the ships as they traveled to Japan. Some were killed when the Allied Forces bombed the ships the POWs were in (unknowingly of course).

The Filipino citizens spent three plus years in agony being ruled by the Japanese Soldiers. They were frequently starved, beaten, killed and even had babies killed to be forced to do what the Japanese Soldiers wanted them to do.

While all this was going on the US Forces and their Allies were trying to get back to the Philippines to free the nation from the Japanese oppression. This took over three years.

When they did return they had to fight a sea battle, many land battles, rescue the POWs and drive the Japanese off the Philippine islands. Thousands died in this effort. Many hundreds of thousands of Filipinos died at the hands of the Japanese during the war and nearly a hundred thousand allied forces died to save the Philippines or as POWs.
