Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act
(Redirected from Hare-Hawes-Cutting Independence Bill)
The Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act was the first law setting a specific date for Philippine independence from the United States. It was passed by the United States Congress on January 13, 1933. It proimised Philippine independence after 12 years, but reserved several military and naval bases for the United States, as well as imposing tariffs and quotas on Philippine exports.
Manuel L. Quezon rejected the bill, and the Philippine senate advocated a new bill that won the support of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The result was the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934.
The Philippines was granted independence on July 4, 1946.
