The Philippine Commission was the body appointed by the President of the United States to administer the Philippine Islands after the Spanish-American War and the Philippine-American War. It served as the sole legislative body of the Philippines from 1900 to 1907. This report, covering a critical period in the early American colonial administration, details the progress, policies, and challenges faced in governing the islands under the supervision of the Bureau of Insular Affairs, War Department.
