The 
Philippines is an archipelagic country in Southeast Asia, and is a strategic location for naval invasions. It starts the game as a puppet of the 
United States.
The Philippines was once part of the Spanish Empire for over 300 years before being ceded to the United States due to the latter's victory in the Spanish-American War which led to the Treaty of Paris (1898). The Commonwealth of the Philippines was the administrative body that governed the Philippines from 1935 to 1946 and was formed to overlook a ten-year period of peaceful transition to full independence. The Philippines was then taken by 
Japan and formed a puppet state called the Second Philippine Republic, which was powerless against the invading Japanese forces who occupied it for three years (1942-1945). It was liberated by American forces in 1945, and the Philippines gained independence on the promised date of July 4, 1946.
The "Capture of Manila" event triggers when Manila is taken by an invading force.
Generic national focus tree.
The Philippines, lacking a unique national focus tree, uses the generic national focus tree instead.
The generic focus tree has 5 main branches:
- Army Effort branch
- Gives army experience and research bonuses to army research.
- Aviation Effort branch
- Gives air experience, builds air bases, and research bonuses to air research.
- Naval Effort branch
- Gives navy experience, builds naval dockyards, and research bonuses to navy research.
- Industrial Effort branch
- Builds civilian and military factories (usually even if building slots are already full), infrastructure and grants extra research slots.
- Political Effort branch
- Gives the country choices on which political path they will take.
The Philippines starts with 2 research slots, and can gain 3 more slots from its national focuses.

The below is one of many player suggested strategies for Philippines. Bear in mind, due to the dynamic nature of the game, it may unfold differently for other players.Japan has a war goal on the Philippines using its focus tree, so I would recommend you break free from the United States using Together for Victory, then become Fascist and ally yourself with Japan. Research paratroopers, Interwar Fighters, Transport planes and a submarine navy to join their war with China. Capitulate them by paratrooping their Victory Points and puppet them so you have their manpower. Japan is only interested in coastal provinces, so the rest is basically free. When Japan declares on the United States, they will probably kick you from their faction beacause their war goal is still active. Use your Chinese puppet manpower to defend your country but don't call them in the war. After that, you can join the Allies and defeat your common enemy together.
