Fair use rationale for Image:Laurel Jose.jpg
Image:Laurel Jose.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

De facto
What is being implied by the phrase "de facto"? It makes it sound like Quezón and Osmeña were pretenders. If you look at the box for Philippe Pétain, it gives De Gaulle's most formal title and doesn't describe anyone as de facto. Laurel's formal title was "president of the Republic of the Philippines," so that should appear somewhere in the article. Kauffner (talk) 03:22, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Reputation
Why is it that a Japanese puppet president is regarded favourably, when Quisling, a German puppet Prime Minister, is vilified? Surely they were both "quislings"?203.184.41.226 (talk) 04:06, 25 April 2013 (UTC)
 * When Quezon went into exile, he asked Laurel to stay behind and mediate with the Japanese. So the fact that Laurel took the job as puppet president couldn't really be held against him, although some people objected to the declaration of war he issued against the United States. Since the 1960s, the government has recognized Laurel's administration as legit. So nowadays he is referred to as "third president of the Philippines" and "president of the Second Republic". Kauffner (talk) 07:27, 3 July 2013 (UTC)
 * Most probably, for one thing, his administration had been considered one of the least corrupt mainly because it was the Japanese Military Administration that exported most of the resources of the Philippines to Japan. Also, later, he would seem to be a hero because when the Philippine Executive Commission was made to choose whether Japan will install a puppet dictator (Artemio Ricarte, who was said to be pro-Japanese) or a republic be established. The latter was fulfilled. Arius1998 (talk) 09:11, 3 July 2013 (UTC)

Martial Law
Citation requested for section on declaration of Martial Law by the Laurel Administration. Coincidentally similar to how the Marcos Administration declared it. Asking the help of Philippine Historians to add citations for this section. Thanks Judgedtwice (talk) 05:08, 29 April 2014 (UTC)
