I'm not sure what is meant in saying the Philippine government was "certainly not considered as a gov't in exile alongside Poland, Czechoslovakia etc". It was an existing government that was evacuated from a country, and while in exile it participated in allied war councils and signed the Declaration by United Nations, much like the exiled governments of Czechoslovakia and Poland.

There's a broader issue in that this template refers to List of governments in exile during World War II but includes only a small portion of the entries there. CMD ( talk) 12:04, 23 July 2020 (UTC)
I see that the Philippines has returned to the Table without consensus here. I would only quote the following passage from this reliable source:
"The governments in exile of Burma (in Simla, India), the Philippines (in Washington), and the Netherlands East Indies (in Brisbane, Australia) during the Second World War [...] were not governments in exile in the sense of international law and were not recognized as such. These governments were rather maintained (or established) as a symbol showing that the colonial or administering power regarded the loss of its territory only as temporary. In no way were they to imply a change of status of the territories. For example, on 8 September 1943 US Secretary of State Cordell Hull wrote that the ‘Philippine Commonwealth Government in exile’ was not a ‘separate and distinct government’ from the Government of the United States which ‘exercises de jure sovereign rights in the Philippines’."
On this basis, I think it can be removed. — Brigade Piron ( talk) 13:31, 28 June 2023 (UTC)
