The Filipinos became very cooperative with the promises
offered by the bill. Peace was maintained, a census was
conducted and after its publication, an election was held on
30 July 1907 and the assembly was convened and
inaugurated on 16 October 1907 at the Manila Grand
Opera House. The Nacionalista Party, espousing
“immediate and complete independence” headed by Sergio
Osmeña garnered the majority of the seats. The First
Philippine Assembly is best remembered for its effort in
reviving the issue of independence and for passing laws that
improved the type of education enjoyed by the Filipinos.
