FIRST PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC

back

In 1899, after the Malolos Constitution was ratified, the Universidad Literia de Filipinas
was established in Malolos, Bulacan. It offered Law as well as Medicine, Surgery and Notary Public;
Academia Militar which was established on October 25, 1898; and the Burgos Institute, an
exclusive school for boys.
The establishment of the Philippine Republic was the culmination of the Philippine
Revolution against Spanish rule. Independence was declared on June 12, 1898 and the dictatorial
government then in place was replaced by a revolutionary government headed by Emilio Aguinaldo as
president on June 23, 1898. The U.S. abolished the Philippine Republic in 1899 and continued its
annexation of the islands pursuant to the Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish-American War. The
Philippines was under US sovereignty until 1946, when formal independence was granted by the
Treaty of Manila.

The Schurman mission arrived in Manila on March 4, 1899, a month after the outbreak of the
war. It failed to accomplish its mission owing to the exigencies of war. It conducted some hearings in
Manila, received the emissaries of General Aguinaldo, after which it returned to the United States. On
January 31, 1900, it submitted its report to President McKinley with the following recommendations:
(1) The establishment of a territorial form of government with the legislature of two houses-the lower
house to be elective and the upper house to be half-elective and half-appointive.
(2) Withdrawal of military rule in the pacified areas
(3) The conservation of the natural resources of the Philippines for the Filipinos
(4) The organization of autonomous local government
(5) Opening of the free elementary schools
(6) The appointment of man of high ability and good character to important government offices.

Dern, Secretary of War; President Franklin D. Roosevelt, signing the Constitution of the Philippine Commonwealth; Manuel L.

Philippine National Bank, Manila, P. I.; Manuel Roxas, Representative, Philippine Legislature, Delegate, Constitutional Assembly;
Francisco A. Delgado, Philippine Resident Commissioner.
The 1935 Constitution was one of the noblest documents written by the Filipinos. It embodied
the ideals of liberty and democracy which Filipinos had inspired for; an American type of government
which they have trained in. The Bill of Rights and the structure of the new government were modeled
after the American Constitution. In one respect, the Philippine Constitution was superior to the American
Constitution, because the preamble of the first invoked the aid of Divine Providence.

Objectives:
To show how the Japanese invasion begin

The coming of Japanese troops in the Philippines
The Second World War was by far the greatest armed conflict in the history of
mankind. Basically, it was a life-and-death struggle between democracy and totalitarianism.
The Philippines joined it on December 8, 1941, immediately after the Japanese attack on
Pearl Harbor, because of the Filipino’s love of freedom and loyalty to America. The heroic
role played by the fighting Filipinos during the war won the esteem of the world and proved
their right to be ranked among the free nations of modern times.

SECOND PHILIPPINE REPUBLIC
contents next
back

Objectives:
To recall the 1943 Constitution
To positively interpret the laws written in 1943 Constitution
To define KALIBAPI
The 1943 Constitution was drafted by a committee appointed by the Philippine executive
Commission, the body established by the Japanese to administer the Philippines in lieu of the
Commonwealth of the Philippines which had established a government-in-exile. In mid-1942 Japanese
Prime Minister Hideki Tojo had promised the Filipinos “the honor of independence” which meant that the
commission would be supplanted by a formal republic.
The Preparatory Committee for Philippines Independence tasked with drafting a new
constitution was composed in large part, of members of the prewar National Assembly and of individuals
with experience with delegates to the convention that had drafted the 1935 Constitution. Their draft for
the republic to be established under the Japanese Occupation, however, would be limited in duration,
provide for indirect, legislative elections, and an even stronger executive branch.
Upon approval of the draft by the Committee, the new charter was ratified in 1943 by an
assembly of appointed, provincial representatives of the KALIBAPI, the organization established by the
Japanese to supplant all previous political parties. Upon ratification by the KALIBAPI assembly, the
Second Republic was formally proclaimed (1943-1945). Jose P. Laurel was appointed as by the National
Assembly and inaugurated into office in October 1943. Laurel was highly regarded by the Japanese for
having openly criticized the US for the way they ran the Philippines and because he had a degree from
Tokyo International University.

Objectives:
To know the different changes happened under the new republic
To explain the type of living of the Filipino when Japanese come
To give important opinion on the government changes
To appreciate the comeback of MacArthur and his liberation forces in the Philippines
Under the new republic, the Ministries were established, replacing the department of the
defunct Philippine Executive Commission. Each ministry was under a minister, assisted by a vice-Minister.
New bureaus, boards, and other offices were created.
Aside from the Supreme Court, five courts of Appeal were created, one for each of the five
Judicial Districts into which the country was divided. To assist the President of the Republic in the
administration of the whole country, seven Administrative Districts were established each under a
commissioner.
THE REPUBLIC IN CRISIS
By August 1944, the situation of the Japanese-made Philippine Republic became critical. Its
existence depended on the might of Japanese arms. In as much as the tide of war was definitely turning
against Japan, it was doomed. Mac Arthur was winning his battles in the Jungle islands of the Southwest
Pacific and was leap frogging his way towards the Philippines.

Objectives:
To describe the action of Commonwealth government of the Philippines to United States
To appreciate the role of MacArthur for the restoration of Commonwealth
To discuss the last commonwealth election
To draw from memory the impact and ending of World War II
From August to October 1944, the tide of war decidedly turned in favor of the United States,
as American planes began to bomb targets in the Philippines. On October 20, 1944, the main attack force
of 174,000 American troops, ferried by an armada of 700 warships, landed at Leyte. After the first wave of
Marine troops had made a beachhead, General MacArthur waded ashore, at Red Beach, near Palo,
Leyte, accompanied by President Osmena, General Carlos P. Romulo and General Basilio Valdez. “I
have returned,” MacArthur told the jubilant Filipino nation.
On October 23, the Commonwealth Government was declared restored, with Tacloban as
temporary capital.
.
LAST COMMONWEALTH ELECTION
The last anniversary of the Commonwealth of the Philippines marking the 10th year of its
existence was celebrated with appropriate rejoicing throughout the country on November
15, 1945. At that time President Osmena was in Washington, D.C., where he was busy
trying to secure aid from the United States government for the relief and rehabilitation of the
war-torn Philippines.

and it is this: That America and the Philippines will be found on the same side, and American and Filipino
soldiers will again fight side by side in the same trenches or in the air or at sea in defense of justice, of
freedom, and other principles which we both love and cherish.” After the speech, he felt dizzy and was
brought to the residence of Maj. Gen. e. L. Eubank, where he passed away that night.
