Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition Series 2):
MARCH 22, 1915
The Carpenter-Kiram Agreement was signed in Zamboanga, Philippine Islands between Hadji Mohammad Jamalul Kiram representing the people of the Sulu Archipelago and Frank W. Carpenter, the governor of the Department of Mindanao and Sulu, under the authority of Gov. Gen. Francis Burton Harrison.
The president during that time was Thomas Woodrow Wilson.
The mutual agreement indicated the sultan's acceptance without any reservation and limitation, the sovereignty of the United States of America while renouncing his sovereignty over Sulu.
