Here are the key points made in the passage: - The Act organized local governments in the Philippines into municipalities governed by a president, vice-president, and municipal council. - Municipalities were classified based on population size, with larger populations getting more councilors. - Those qualified to vote included male residents over 23 who were not foreign citizens and either formerly held local political offices under Spanish rule or owned real estate or paid certain taxes. - This law centralized control over local governments and limited political participation mainly to wealthy landowners, consistent with American colonial policies at the time. The passage discusses an American colonial law passed in 1901 that reorganized local governments in the Philippines into a system of municipalities controlled from the top

Panimula
Ang Pamamahala ng United States sa Pilipinas
Ang Kasunduan sa Paris na nilagdaan noong Disyembre 10, 1898 ang naging
hudyat ng pagtatapos ng mahigit tatlong daang taong pananakop ng Spain sa
Pilipinas at simula naman ng pananakop ng United States sa bansa. Sa bisa ng
proklamasyong Benevolent Assimilation na inihayag ni dating Pangulong William
McKinley noong Disyembre 21, 1898 pinamahalaan ng United States ang Pilipinas.
Ang panahon ng pananakop ng United States sa Pilipinas ay nahahati sa
sumusunod na mga pangyayari:
1

2. Panahon ng Pamahalaang Militar (1898-1901)
Panahon ng Pamahalaan ng Komisyong Pilipinas (1901-1907)
Panahon ng Pamamahala ng Lehislatura ng Pilipinas (1907-1916)
Panahon ng Awtonomiya sa ilalim ng Batas Jones (1916-1935)
Panahon ng Komonwelt (1936 – 1946)
Basahin ang batayang aklat “Pilipinas,
Isang Sulyap at Pagyakap”, mga pahina
188-200.
Pilipinisasyon ng Gobyerno
Natunghayan sa nakalipas na pamamahala ng Spain sa Pilipinas na malaki ang
pagkakaiba ng patakaran ng kanilang pamumuno sa patakaran ng pamamahala ng
United States sa Pilipinas. Sa larangan ng pakikilahok ng mga Pilipino sa politika, sa
ilalim ng pamahalaang kolonyal ng Spain sa bansa hindi pinahintulutan ang mga
Pilipino na manungkulan sa mataas na posisyon sa pamahalaan. Sa kabilang banda,
sa ilalim ng United States matapos maitaguyod ang kanilang pamahalaang sibil sa
Pilipinas hinikayat nila ang mga Pilipino na makilahok sa pamamahala ng bansa
bilang bahagi ng kanilang pahayag at simulain sa Pilipinas na sanayin at turuan ang
mga Pilipino na mamahala ng kanilang sarili.
Matutunghayan sa ibaba ang time line ng mga mahahalagang pangyayari na
nagbigay-daan sa pagkamit ng mga Pilipino ng higit na pakikilahok sa pamamahala sa
bansa.

3. Agosto 14, 1898. Idineklara ni
Commodore
George
Dewey
ang
pamahalaang militar sa Pilipinas.
1898-1899. Pinamunuan nina Hen.
Wesley Meritt (1898), Elwell Otis (18981899) ang Pilipinas sa ilalim ng batas
militar upang supilin
ang mga
naghihimagsik na mga Pilipino. Namuno
sila bilang mga Gobernador-Militar.
1899. Iniutos ni Pangulong McKinley ang
pagpapadala ng mga komisyon sa
Pilipinas upang alamin ang kalagayan ng
Pilipinas.
1899. Komisyong Schurman. Pinamunuan
ni Jacob Gould Schurman. Ipinahayag sa
mga Pilipino ang layunin ng United
States.
1900. Komisyong Taft. Pinamunuan ni
William Howard Taft. Iminungkahi ang
paggawa ng batas panlalawigan at
munisipal; pagtatatag ng mga hukuman
at pulisya; at pagtataguyod ng
pamahalaang sibil sa Pilipinas.
1899-1901.
Huling
Panahon
ng
pamahalaang Militar sa Pilipinas sa
pamumuno ni Hen. Arthur MacArthur.
Marso 2, 1901. Pagsabatas ang Susog
Spooner ni Sen. John Spooner bilag tugon
sa panukala ni Taft at iminungkahi niya
ang agarang pagtatatag ng pamahalaang
sibil sa Pilipinas; at pormal na pagbuwag
sa pamahalaang militar.
Hulyo 04, 1901. Pinasinayaan ang
Pamahalang Sibil sa Pilipinas sa ilalim pa
rin ng Komisyon ng Pilipinas ng
pamahalang Amerikano. Pinangunahan
ito ni William Howard Taft. Tinanghal din
siyang kauna-unahang Gobernador-Sibil.
Hulyo 02, 1902. Pinagtibay ang Batas
Cooper o ang Philippine Bill of 1902 na
ipinanukala ni Cong. Allen Cooper. Isa sa
pinakamahalagang itinadhana ng batas
na ito ay ang pagtatatag ng Lehislatura ng
Pilipinas na pangungunahan ng mga
mambabatas na Pilipino. Isinabatas din
ang pagtatalaga ng dalawang Pilipino
bilang Residente Komisyoner na magiging
kinatawan ng lehislatura sa US Congress.
Oktubre 16, 1907. Pinasinayaan ang
Lehislatura o Asemblea ng Pilipinas.
Pinamunuan ito nina Sergio Osmenia
bilang Ispiker, at Manuel L. Quezon ang
Lider ng mayorya. Ito ang nagpasimula ng
kampanya ng mga Pilipino para hilingin
ang mas malawak na saklaw ng
pamamahala sa bansa at hingin ang
kalayaan.
Reaksyon ng mga Pilipino sa Pananakop ng mga Amerikano
Matapos ang kabiguan ng mga rebolusyonaryong Pilipino sa mga digmaang
laban sa panghihimasok ng United States, nagpatuloy pa rin ang mga pagpupunyagi

6. Ang bayan kong hinirang
Pilipinas ang pangalan
Perlas ng Silangan sa taglay niyang kariktan
Ngunit sawimpalad sa mimimithing paglaya
Laging lumuluha sa pagdaralita
Ang bayan kong Pilipinas
Lupain ng ginto’t bulaklak
Pag-ibig ang kanyang palad
Nag-alay ng ganda’t dilag
At sa kanyang yumi at ganda
Dayuhan ay nahalina
Bayan ko binihag ka nasadlak sa dusa
Ibon man may layang lumipad
Kulungin mo at umiiyak
Bayan pa kayang sakdal dilag
Ang di magnasang makaalpas
Pilipinas kong minumutya
Pugad ng luha ko’t dalita
Aking adhika, makita kang sakdal laya
Kay sarap mabuhay sa sariling bayan
Kung walang alipin at may kalayaan
Ang bayang sinikil
Babangon lalaban din
Ang Silanga’y pupula sa hudyat ng paglaya

Matutunghayan mo sa ibaba ang ilan sa mga probisyon ng Batas Jones. Ang
batas na ito ay pinanukala ni William Atkinson Jones noong 1914 na sinusugan ni
Jones Clarke. Nilagdaan ito ni dating Pangulong Woodrow Wilson ng Estados Unidos
noong Agosto 26, 1916. Kinikilala ito bilang kauna-unahang opisyal na batas na
pangako ng United States para sa pagkilala ng kasarinlan ng Pilipinas. Ang Batas
Jones din ang humalili sa Batas Pilipinas 1902 o The Philippine Bill of 1902 bilang
batayan ng pamamahala ng United States sa Pilipinas. Itinatadhana ng batas ang
pagtataguyod ng tatlong sangay ng pamahalaan: ang sangay ng tagapagpaganap;

given them without, in the meantime, impairing the exercise of the rights of sovereignty by
the people of the United States, in order that, by the use and exercise of popular franchise and
governmental powers, they may be the better prepared to fully assume the responsibilities and
enjoy all the privileges of complete independence: Therefore,
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in
Congress assembled, That the provisions of this Act and the name "The Philippines" as used

Pagsupil ng Nasyonalismong Pilipino
Matapos ang matagumpay na pagdakip sa mga pinunong rebolusyonaryo at
pagpapatapon nang ilan sa kanila sa ibang bansa, ang iba naman na nadakip ay
nanumpa ng katapatan sa kanila kapalit ng paglaya. Ipinagpatuloy ng mga
Amerikano ang kanilang kampanya na mapayapa ang ilang Pilipino na patuloy na
lumalaban sa kanilang pananakop. Hangad din nilang maipalaganap ang kanilang
hangarin sa Pilipinas na pakibangan ito bilang bagsakan ng kanilang produkto,
kontrolin ang pulitika, gawing base-militar sa Asya-pasipiko at pakinabangan ang
mga likas na yaman ng bansa.
Basahin at suriing mabuti ang mga sumusunod na sipi na naglalaman ng mga
istratehiya at pamamaraan sa pagsupil sa mga naghihimagsik na mga Pilipino. Ang
mga batas na ito ay pinatupad nila sa buong kapuluan bilang tugon sa patuloy na
pakikibaka ng mga Pilipino na maging malaya.
