Ok, so basically, the challenge is (with a minimal-butterflies PoD no earlier than late 1942) to allow the IJN to not be defeated so disastrously at the Battle of the Philippines. It must be a stalemate or a Japanese strategical victory; bonus points if it is a Japanese tactical victory as well. More bonus points if it leads to a prolonged Marianas Islands campaign (and many, many more bonus points if the campaign is somehow won by the Japanese, albeit this is pretty much impossible). So, how can it be done?
