USAFFE made its last stand on [[Corregidor]] Island, after which Japanese forces were able to force all remaining Filipino and American troops to surrender. The establishment of the general headquarters of the [[Philippine Commonwealth Army]] are military station went to the province during the occupation. Those who survived the invasion but escaped from the Japanese formed the basis of recognized guerrilla units and ongoing local military force of the [[Philippine Commonwealth Army]] that continued the fighting against the enemy all over the islands. The [[Philippine Constabulary]] went on active service under the Armed Forces of the Philippines during liberation.
