Philippine Legislature Passes Declaration Of Purpose

Today in Philippine History (Philatelic Edition):

MARCH 7, 1919

The American-sponsored Philippine Legislature passed the Declaration of Purpose that shows the position of the Filipinos on the issue of the granting of independence by the United States of America. 

This Declaration was passed five years after the Filipino revolutionaries were completely neutralized and the end of the Philippine-American War (1899-1914).
