Why did Quezon and his Gov to into exile?

President Manuel L. Quezon and his government went into exile during World War II due to the Japanese invasion of the Philippines in December 1941. As the situation became increasingly dangerous and the Japanese forces advanced, Quezon sought to maintain the legitimacy of the Philippine government by relocating to the United States. This move allowed him to continue advocating for Philippine independence and to support the Allied war effort against Japan. Quezon's exile lasted until the liberation of the Philippines in 1945.
