Documents of Philippine political history

This compilation gathers the foundational political and legal documents that trace the political development of the Philippines from the late Spanish colonial era to the establishment of the Commonwealth government. The collection includes revolutionary documents such as the Constitution of Biac-Na-Bato and the Act of the Proclamation of Independence, alongside the key American legislative acts that defined the colonial period, including the Treaty of Peace with Spain, the Philippine Bill of 1902, the Jones Law, and finally, the Philippine Independence Act (Tydings-McDuffie Act) of 1934. Published by the Silliman University Press in Dumaguete, Oriental Negros, the book served as an essential primary source reference for students and scholars to study the nation's constitutional evolution and prolonged struggle for self-governance during a critical period in Philippine history.

The book is considered valuable. It is advised that researchers use digital copy rather than physical books for preservation purposes. APA Citation: Galia, D. G. (Comp.). (1935). Documents of Philippine political history. Silliman University Press.
