I realize that map making is hard work and would like to thank all of you guys with the patience and technological know how that can make them.

Difficult to say the least. I'm not sure what the limit is but the Solomons Map currently in the game I believe is the largest possible size and that benefits from being a chain of islands with mostly open ocean.

I investigated a Philippines map but in order to make that work I'd have to pick a smaller battle space. Part of Luzon or Leyte plus Leyte gulf but that has limited use outside of the first few days of the battle and then you have a map with a large US base on it and nothing else.

A map containing the whole of the Philippines battle area just isn't possible. Unfortunately.
