Answer:

C. Both Japan and the United States

Step-by-step explanation:

The phillipines were American territories and if they were able to cease the phillipines from the american government they had the opportunity to have a better strategic position in the Atlantic and be able to conquer and attack on other asian countries, if they could make the americans withdraw from the Phillipines they would be able to take an strategic position in the atlantic from the Americans and this would be a virtual victory over the american army.
