look into Philippines affairs.
The administration of Leonard Wood
(1921-1927) was he took the position that the Jones Law-the organic act
operating in the Philippines- could not be modified except by action of the U.S
Congress itself.
On July 17, 1923, Manila’s metropolitan dailies headlined the
resignation of all Filipino members of Gov. Wood’s Cabinet, thus precipitating
the “Cabinet Crises” which brought the Philippines to focus of the US
government and public attention.

Nacionalista Party of Quezon on 1922.he found his leadership none
too secure-especially with the enhanced strength of the minority Democrats
after the elections of 1922.July 17,1922, and the office referred them the next
day to the Mayor of Manila, Ramon J. Fernandez, for investigation.

about his political future, became impatient and provoked, the Cabinet
Crisis.
The veto power of Governor Wood,
in the eyes of the Filipino leaders, was
being excessively exercised, ’’on the most flimsy motives”. From October
1923 to February 1924, the sixth Philippine Legislature passed 217 bills.
There were two Fundamental reasons
advanced by Wood for getting the government out of the business. First ,that
that Philippine treasury needed the money invested in the business enterprises to spend it for the greater benefit of the

Governor-General of the Philippines on March 1, 1928.he established the “new
era’’ of the Philippines. The most significant achievement of Stimson’s
year in the Philippines was “the
cessation of the period of acrimonious deadlock” and the substitution of
cooperation and friendly feelings between the American authority and Filipino
leadership.
America give the independence in the Philippines and we have already a responsibility to choose the leader in our country or to elect President in our country. Manuel L. Quezon, head of the Nacionalist Party one of the two powerful leaders and their followers of the Filipino Legislative and later President of the Philippine Commonwealth. Moreover, instead of a stable and peaceful political engagement between Filipino leaders and their followers and between “Native” elite and masses, colonial politics was shocked by a series of poor people’s revolts and a challenge from aging nationalist revolutionaries in the late colonial period.
