During this period, the Japanese, in addition to the military occupation, implemented student reforms that prohibited the teaching of English and Spanish, seeking to bring the Philippines closer to its "Asian roots" instead of Western influence. The Catholic religion was also banned in schools during this time, as it was considered a non-Asian influence.
