Why did Osmeña and Quezon left the Philippines in the middle of the World War 2?

Question

We had the world war two, Osmeña and Quezon left us in the middle of the battle. Why did they do that?
Did they do that to protect us?

Answer 1

They knew that the Japanese would either kill them or force them to be a "puppet government" to do what the Japanese invaders told them to do.
They left so they could continue to be a free Philippine Government in exile and a source of hope and inspiration for those in occupied Philippines, while they and Gen MacArthur raised an army to return.....or as Mac said the day after the landings in Leyte to liberate the islands:

"TO THE PEOPLE OF THE PHILIPPINES:

I have returned. By the grace of Almighty God our forces stand again on Philippine soil -- soil consecrated in the blood of our two peoples. We have come, dedicated and committed, to the task of destroying every vestige of enemy control over your daily lives, and of restoring, upon a foundation of indestructible, strength, the liberties of your people.

At my side is your President, Sergio Osmena, worthy successor of that great patriot, Manuel Quezon, with members of his cabinet. The seat of your government is now therefore firmly re- established on Philippine soil.

The hour of your redemption is here. Your patriots have demonstrated an unswerving and resolute devotion to the principles of freedom that challenges the best that is written on the pages of human history. I now call upon your supreme effort that the enemy may know from the temper of an aroused and outraged people within that he has a force there to contend with no less violent than is the force committed from without.

Rally to me. Let the indomitable spirit of Bataan and Corregidor lead on. As the lines of battle roll forward to bring you within the zone of operations, rise and strike. Strike at every favorable opportunity. For your homes and hearths, strike! For future generations of your sons and daughters, strike! In the name of your sacred dead, strike! Let no heart be faint. Let every arm be steeled. The guidance of divine God points the way. Follow in His Name to the Holy Grail of righteous victory!"
