1930s
- Many Filipino bottled products used Japanese-madebottles because the Philippines did not then produce
bottles - Up to the mid 1930s, most Japanese trading companies
used Chinese retailers to sell their mass-oriented products
- From the mid 1930s, Japanese businessmen went into the
retail business after the Chinese retailers boycottedJapanese products
- There were also Japanese-owned specialized shops in thecountry selling bicycles, pharmacy, medical and dentistrysupply, glass sheets, carpentry tools, watch and watchrepair, made-to-order clothing, confectionery, etc.

- In 1935, the country face a severe ricecrisis due to a crop shortfall and corneringof the market by shrewd merchants.
- The commonwealth governmentestablished the National Rice and CornCorporation or Naric as a way to nationalizethe rice industry and stabilize prices.
- Quezon also sought to increase foodproduction by building more irrigationsystems and promoting more modern andscientific planting methods.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
11/118
- He also planned a series of social
justice programs to redistribute land tothe farmers.
- Quezon also created the Emergency
Control Board in 1939 and the CivilianEmergency Administration in 1941 toprepare the country for war conditions.
- Progress, though, was slow because thethreat or war was not taken seriously.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
12/118
- With the outbreak of the war, the
economy was thus easily disrupted:transportation was commandeered by
the USAFFE, crops could not be
harvested because of evacuation, and the
import and export between the US and
the Philippines was broken.
-

- Otherwise, basic commodities and food
were only provided for the Filipinos tomaintain stability.
- Long term, the Japanese also wanted toincorporate the Philippines into the
Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere

Japanese Economic Control
- To keep inflation under control, productionof commodities was increased to preventshortages, bank withdrawals were limited to500 pesos a month, and a forced savingssystem was implemented where wage
earners were required to save 10% of theirearnings in bank deposits.
- There was also a general salary reduction
for government employees, but it would beoffset by rationing and price controllowering the cost of living.

Monopolies
- With the goal of creating a completely controlledeconomy in the Philippines, the Japanese also
established monopolies, based on the controlledeconomy in Japan.
- This would be done by establishing various groupssuch as the Prime Commodities Distribution Control
Association, Federation of Filipino RetailersAssociation, Japanese Bazaars Association, ChineseRetailers Association, and the Philippine CopraPurchasing Union along with similar groups for
traders, manufacturers, and dealers of otherproducts, and also associations for farmers,fishermen, bakers, cattle and hog buyers, horseowners.

- Membership was mandatory and the
majority of top officials were Japanese. - This allowed all major professions, and
thus the entire economy, to be easily
controlled. - In theory, this allowed a more direct route
between producers and consumers, which
would cut costs, and would allow greatercooperation rather than wastefulcompetition, maximizing all resources.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
20/118
- In cases where existing special companies andorganizations covered strategic interests such asrailroads, electricity, telephone, telegraph, andfuel , the Japanese simply took them over undertheir direct control.
- This was also the case with the banks: all ofthem would be supervised or controlled by thegovernment in support of if its goal of controlled
economy. - With this centralization, the Japanese could
begin to control prices and ration supply.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
21/118
Rice Crisis
- Immediately after occupation, in conjunctionwith Naric, the Japanese were able to reopen
rice stores in Manila to sell at a fixed amount anda fixed price.
-This was the beginning of rationing and price
control which would characterize the rest ofJapanese economic policy.
- After some initial difficulty with lack of ricestores, rice sales stabilized.
- However, rice stocks soon ran out and the warinterrupted the harvest and transportation,causing the shortage of rice.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
22/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
23/118
- Also, the Japanese were given priority, as would bein all other aspects of the economy, leaving even less
for the Filipinos. - Shortages like this would spread to other
commodities as the Japanese took over thePhilippine economy.
- In order to counteract the shortage, the Japaneseintroduced a fast-maturing strain of rice from Taiwancalled horai rice which could theoretically double ortriple rice production in the Philippines.
- After initial success in experimental farms, certainregions were ordered to cultivate only horai.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
24/118
- The Japanese controlled media proclaimed that thePhilippines could become self-sufficient in a years
time. - Despite this, the Japanese did import rice to the
Philippines from Saigon and continued importinguntil the end of the occupation.
- To centralize control of rice procurement anddistribution, ensuring that the Japanese military gotits share, Naric was placed under direct Japanesearmy management and all transactions involving riceincluding milling, buying, selling, transportation,storage, and distribution were placed under Naric.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
25/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
26/118
- Naric still encountered many difficulties insupplying rice such as the lack of peace and order in
rice producing provinces and general lack oftransportation.
- Nonetheless the Japanese Military Administrationsought to increase productivity by introducing new
fertilizers from Japan and improving irrigationsystems.
- As was the case with many other sectors of theeconomy, the Japanese organized the Food ControlAssociation in 1942 and the Federation of RiceGrowers Associations in 1943 to monopolize andcontrol production.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation

PRIMCO
- The Philippine Prime Commodities DistributionControl Association or Primco was establishedby the Japanese to control the supply anddistribution of prime commodities, except food.
- It inventories stocks in private warehouses andshops throughout the country, and forcibly tookgoods from companies as Japanese-mandatedprices, which were always low.
- Private companies, in turn, were struck hardand lost their stocks and assets.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
28/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
29/118
- When inflation set in, Primco insisted on buyingcheap and selling cheap.
- Primco also supplied the Japanese military andvarious development companies along with thepublic.
- To control consumption, rationing wasimplemented for laundry soap, matches, cookingoil, cotton, textiles, and clothing at fixed prices.
- Ideally, the goods would be rationed enough tosustain the population, however, actualimplementation was very different.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
30/118
- Priority was given to the self-sustenance of theJapanese forces and so they had first rights on these
commodities , and only leftovers could bedistributed to Filipinos.
- Overall, mismanagement and forced buying atunreasonably low prices thus caused a severe
shortage. - The Japanese did foresee the shortage which is why
they implemented the rationing and fixed prices, butthese were stopgap measures, and the Japaneserealized that the Philippines needed to be able toproduce for itself as well as for the Japanese.

Mickey Mouse Money
- In order to control the entire financialsystem of the countries Japan occupies, theyissued gumpyo, also known asmilitary war notes, pass money, or scrip.
- The peso military notes for the Philippines
were called the Ho type and came in sevendenominations: 10, 5, and 1 peso bills, and50, 10, 5, and 1 centavo bills.
- The Japanese invasion forces brought thefirst military notes with them which wereimmediately to be used as legal tender.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
32/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
33/118
- The military notes were to be used in alltransactions, and severe punishment was
threatened for anyone who interfered with theircirculation while all other currencies except thepre-war peso were banned.
- Filipinos were immediately suspicious despiteassurance that the money was backed by theJapanese government because there was noindication, such as serial numbers, that the
money was backed by any value and becausethe Japanese had to actually threaten Filipinos touse the bills which would be unnecessary if thenotes had real value.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
34/118
- Because the notes did not look real and quickly lostits value to inflation from 1943 onward, Filipinos
derisively them Mickey Mouse money: not real, afigment of the imagination.
- With inflation setting in and the highestdenomination being 10 pesos, more and more bills
were required to buy commodities; salaries wouldbe paid in bundles of bills, and bags of bills had tobe carried to market.
- With dwindling supply in the economy due to thefaulty economic controls, prices rose and the valueof Mickey Mouse money continued to drop.

Making the Philippines
Self-Sufficient - In order to reorganize the Philippine economy to
produce enough for both the Filipinos and the
Japanese, the unbalanced economy that theAmericans left behind had to be replaced.
- The Japanese planned to cut sugar output sinceother areas in the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity
Sphere already produced enough sugar for Japan. - The plan was to have excess sugar plantation lands
be converted to cotton plantations so as to produceenough for both the Philippines and Japan. (cottonwas important not only for clothing but also in themanufacture of explosives)
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
38/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
39/118
- Both Japan and the Philippines were cottonimporting countries before the war, so it was
urgent to be able to produce the resource.
- Japan quickly sent a group of specialists tooversee the plan in 1942, and once the plan was
made public, the planting of cotton began.
- The sugar lands in Negros and Central Luzonwere divided among Japanese civilian cotton
companies while Filipino landowners andfarmers were ordered to cultivate cotton undercontract with the Japanese companies.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
40/118
- As with other aspects of the economy, aPhilippine Cotton-Growing Association was
organized. - The plan, as a whole, was reasonable:
Filipinos would plant cotton in excess lands
under expert Japanese supervision. Inbetween harvest and planting, secondaryfood crops would be planted to keep the
land useful throughout the year - Optimistic target numbers were calculated
and were set to be increased annually.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
41/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
42/118
- The predictions, however were not met,
and many difficulties were encountered:the Japanese specialists arrived late,
delaying planting; various pests and
diseases attacked the seedlings; too
much rain fell, after which a drought set
in, not to mention that the cotton is notacclimatized to Philippine conditions.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
43/118
- The cotton plants were also delicate,
and so Filipino farmers were not used tohandling the crops; many disliked thehard work and deliberately did as little
as they could. - Landlords were also hesitant and did
not always cooperate.
- Guerilla resistance also sabotagedcotton plantations, especially in Negros.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
44/118
- It was also used for making containers
such as barrels and various resins, gums,and oils can be extracted from wood.
- As much as possible, these products would
be exported to Japan.
- As with cotton, the Philippine Lumber
Control Union was organized to divide thePhilippines into areas and given to member
companies, all Japanese, to exploit.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
45/118
- Another strategic resource for the Japanesewas the mines.
- Gold mines were developed by the Americansbefore the war, but the Japanese did not needgold for the war effort, so the gold mines were
temporarily shut down and the equipment wassent to copper, chromium, and manganese mineswhich the Japanese focused on.
- As with the cotton and lumber production plan,Japanese mining companies were allottedspecific mines to exploit.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
46/118
- As with Primco, Filipino operators were
under the mercy of Japanese-organizedmonopolies, such as the lumber union,and were forced to sell their materials at
union prices, creating shortages. -Thus, Japanese companies competed
with each other for limited resources andprices rose; racketeering, smuggling,confiscation, and corruption followed.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
47/118
-It was the same pattern with other industries orresources such as fuel, transportation,
communication, and electricity; they weredeveloped but always prioritized for theJapanese and maintenance and spare parts werealways inadequate.
- Overall, the guerillas, peoples apathy,difficulties in work and transport, shortage offood, and the unreasonable prices set by the
Japanese led to low output of lumber, cotton,minerals, and virtually all other aspects of theJapanese-controlled economy.

- It seemed that farms would be left without workanimals so the administration had to restrict the
number of animals slaughtered and laterordered that only animals that certified to nolonger be useful in the fields could beslaughtered.
- Prices of other foods also rose despite priceceilings set and despite efforts by the Bureau ofCommerce and Industry, and the Philippine
Constabularys Economic Police Division toensure the ceilings were followed and to arrestprofiteers and hoarders.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
51/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
52/118
- To cut costs, the Japanese Military
Administration slashed the daily wagefrom the pre-war P1.00 to P0.80.
- Many Japanese companies and militaryforces paid even less, and as a result,
many Filipinos avoided working for the
Japanese.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
53/118
Japanese Mismanagement
- Although the Japanese plans lookedreasonable and logical on paper, they led to
various complications. - Rather than cooperation, there was rivalry
between the Japanese army, navy, and the
civilian development companies for limitedresources.
- When procuring resources and goods,
they paid ridiculously low prices, makingthe shortage worse, and raising the pricesuncontrollably, leading to inflation.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
54/118
- On other occasions, encouragement and highbuying prices by the Japanese led to unexpected
results: - Both the Japanese army and navy offered large
sums of money for scrap metal, electrical wires, andother strategic materials.
- This made a flourishing trade in such materials, butalso an increase in the looting of such materials suchas stealing wires from street lights (which theJapanese administration never replaced) and evenstealing from Japanese supply depots to sell thestolen goods back to the Japanese.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
55/118
- Other Japanese measures thus often
went badly as well: - Lack of interest and cooperation by
Filipino and poor management by the
Japanese consistently led to low
production;
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
56/118
- Cutbacks in government led to greater
unemployment, and the cut in salariesled to lower income meaning the peoplecould not or refused to pay taxes, thus
leading to lower government revenue; - Mickey Mouse money was not
considered real currency and theJapanese kept printing and circulatingmore leading to even more inflation.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
57/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
58/118
Black Market
- Because of the increasing number of
Japanese troops, demand for commoditiesrose and a shortage in almost all
commodities was only a matter of time.
- As a result, the black market thriveddespite all attempts to control it.
- Fake licenses, permits, ration tickets, andeven fake Mickey Mouse money abounded.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
59/118
- Fake price control inspectors andconstables also emerged, while manygenuine officers became corrupt.
- Vendors would cheat consumers by
tampering with scales and disregarded theprice controls.
- Rent control orders were also disregarded
by both Japanese and Filipinos, withlandlords charging their own rents andthreatening to kick tenants out.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
60/118
- Control measures by the Japanese only worked onpaper; anomalies, corruption, and cheating took
place right within the Japanese control associationsand while those caught were expelled, they onlyjoined the black market as a result.
- While anti-profiteering campaigns seemed to work
early on, as soon as they were stopped, profiteeringand hoarding returned; those previously punishedfor hoarding and profiteering simply returned totheir activities after release.
- The Japanese, in turn, were afraid that too muchharshness would only force more peopleunderground.

Same Problems
- Because the Japanese continued to controlmuch of the economy, simply taking what itneeded, demand outstripped supply andpeople were left without basic commoditiesfor survival.
- Profiteering was never stopped, the blackmarket continued to thrive, and cheating
and corruption were blatant. - Inflation began to rise in 1943 and became
impossible in 1944:
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
67/118
- A shirt that cost P0.80 prewar cost
P6.00-9.00 in 1943. - Laundry soap cost P0.03-0.04 prewar
rose to P3.00.
- An old pair of denim pants used to sell
at P1.50, now sold for P50.00.
- One kilo of sugar shot up to P70.00 from
a prewar price of P0.30.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
68/118
An Economy of Subtitutes
- With the shortage of almost all basic
necessities, substitutes had to bedevised.
- People were urged to use camote and
cassava as rice substitutes.
- Buses ran on charcoal.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
69/118
- Rice or corm substituted for coffee.
- Boiled avocado or mango leaves wereused for tea.
- Banana peels were used for shoepolish.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
70/118
- Banana Catsup was discovered as a substitutefor the imported tomato original.
- Since cars were reserved for the powerful,many resorted to bicycles or simply walked.
- The dokar (a horse drawn vehicle withautomobile wheels and upholstered seats),calesas and carretelas became common on theroad.
- Small sailboats or batels also became popularfor interisland transportation since there were noregular liners.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
71/118
- People also resorted to cost-cutting
measures: - Some men cut their long pants to make
them short to save laundry soap
- Matches were split in two to double
supply
- The tingi system was used
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
72/118
The Dark Side of the Economy
- There was also a prospering trade in fakemerchandise such as fake brandedcigarettes and even fake medicines alongwith the forged documents and fake moneyprevalent in the black market.
- Many people resorted to barter becauseMickey Mouse money rapidly lost value,
and wound up bartering prized prewarcollections and other possessions for basicnecessities.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
73/118
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
74/118
- War widows also resorted to selling theirchildren to those who could take better careof them.
- A guerilla report from 1944 stated that it
was easier to buy a child than a pig inManila.
- Shortages were not as bad in the
provinces, but Japanese or guerilla raidsdestabilized conditions and many peopleflowed into the cities for safety.
-
8/7/2019 hi166 presentation
75/118
- This served to worsen the shortages
and further increase unemployment. - Opportunists, though, were able to
make money out of the situation such as
directly supplying the Japanese, making
big money out of the transactions, or by
hoarding commodities.
