    Philippines was still a colony of the Spanish East Indies, and concluded when the
    United States formally recognized the independence of the Republic of the
    Philippines on July 4, 1946.
     With the signing of the Treaty of Paris on December 10, 1898, Spain ceded the
    Philippines to the United States, thereby beginning the era of American
    colonization.
     The interim U.S. military government of the Philippine Islands experienced a
    period of great political turbulence, characterised by the Philippine–American
    War.
     Beginning in 1901, the military government was replaced by a civilian
    government—the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands—with William
    Howard Taft serving as its first Governor-General.
     Following the passage of the Philippine Independence Act in 1934, a Philippine
    presidential election was held in 1935. Manuel L. Quezon was elected and
    inaugurated second President of the Philippines on November 15, 1935.

    country's full achievement of independence in 1946, was brought into existence.

    War.

    Bay took place on May 1,
    1898.
     In a matter of hours,

    under Admiral Patricio
    Montojo.
    Philippine Declaration of Independence
    On June 12, 1898, Aguinaldo proclaimed the independence of the Philippines
    at his house in Cavite El Viejo.
    Ambrosio Rianzares Bautista wrote the Philippine Declaration of Independence,
    and read this document in Spanish that day at Aguinaldo's house.
    On June 18, Aguinaldo issued a decree formally establishing his dictatorial
    government.
    On June 23, Aguinaldo issued another decree, this time replacing the dictatorial
    government with a revolutionary government (and naming himself as President).
    Capture of Manila
     By June, U.S. and Filipino forces had taken control of most of the islands, except
    for the walled city of Intramuros.
     The negotiating parties made a secret agreement to stage a mock battle in which
    the Spanish forces would be defeated by the American forces, but the Filipino
    forces would not be allowed to enter the city.

    as the U.S. colonial administration was known.
     The act provided for a Governor-General appointed by the U.S. president and an
    elected lower house, the Philippine Assembly.

    o The Commonwealth as established in 1935 featured a very strong executive, a
    unicameral national assembly, and a supreme court composed entirely of
    Filipinos for the first time since 1901.

    of Manuel Roxas.
    The treaty provided for the recognition of
    the independence of the Republic of the
    Philippines and the relinquishment of American
    sovereignty over the Philippine Islands.
