Southern Philippines Campaign (27 Feb 45 - 4 Jul 45) in the Pacific Theater
After Luzon had been invaded
and Manila taken, a series of landings
were made in the southern Philippines, on
Palawan, Mindanao, Panay, Cebu, Negros,
and other islands. In some places the
Japanese offered little resistance; in others
they held out for considerable time. The
liberation of the Philippines was announced
by MacArthur on 5 July 1945.
