During the Philippine-American war, the Americans established a military government in the Philippines, which was
governed by military generals chosen by the president of the United States. The Philippine Assembly was created in
1907. The assembly is a government body tasked with enacting national legislation. The Jones law was a new
institution for the Philippine legislature, which, like the previous Philippine assembly, was tasked with making
laws for the country.The OsRox Mission (1931) was a campaign led by former Senate President Sergio Osmea and
House Speaker Manuel Roxas for self-government and US recognition of the Philippines' independence.
The Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act was the first US law passed setting a process and a date for the Philippines to gain
independence from the US. The QuAqual mission persuaded the Americans, resulting in the passage of the
Tydings–McDuffie Act, which is now known as the Philippine Independence Act.In a summary, the Commonwealth 7
of the Philippines served as a training ground for the Filipino people to learn how to run an independent and
functioning government. The Philippines attained independence and democracy as a result of the efforts of the
aforementioned politicians.
 Education became a crucial concern for the colonial authority of the United States because it allowed them
to promote their cultural ideals, especially the English language, to the Filipino people. The democratic
traditions and practical application of laws and principles were also emphasized in American schooling.
It is critical for Americans to introduce their educational system to Filipinos in order to build effective
economic communications.

The Commonwealth taught the Filipino people how to run an autonomous and effective government.
The Commonwealth practiced the democracy which many people risked their lives for. The Commonwealth
drew the best and brightest Filipinos to lead their own country.

By respecting each other we are able to recognize each others rights and how not to trespass one's
boundary. Everyone is entitle to his or her own right that is why it is important to respect ones' decision.
One of the most fundamental aspects of a democratic society in which individuals have equal rights is
political independence or autonomy.

To foster alignment and team focus, being accountable is important to clearly communicate goals,
objectives, and key results for the good of everybody. One must hold themselves accountable for all of their
decisions and whatever their consequences may be. Everyone must take full responsibility of their actions
and I am willing to admit where they go wrong and also willing to be corrected.

As a youth you can help protect the country's democracy by being actively participating in political affairs.
One must chose a leader who has the ability to lead the country and the leader who does not have any
track of anomalies. As a youth, you can practice one of the must important right that everyone have, and that
is to vote.

I understand the role of the Commonwealth in the Philippine history, I now the events which led to its
establishment and lastly, I can describe the changes brought by the American occupation to the
country.

The real intention of the Americans why they offer the way to let the Philippines be independent and
the American Influence on the country during their occupation are the things that I find interesting for
it somehow answered my questions before.

None.
