Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act

The Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act[1] passed to authors Congress Butler B. Hare, Senator Harry B. Hawes and Senator Bronson M. Cutting. (ch. 11, 47 Stat. 761, enacted January 17, 1933) The Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act was the first US law passed setting a process and a date for the Philippines to gain independence from the United States. It was the result of the OsRox Mission led by Sergio Osmeña and Manuel Roxas. The law promised Philippine independence after 10 years, but reserved several military and naval bases for the United States, as well as imposed tariffs and quotas on Philippine imports.

By 1932, two main groups supported a law outlining the specifics of Philippine independence:

• Political history of the Philippines
• History of the Philippines
• Philippine Organic Act (1902)
• Jones Law (Philippines) or the Philippines Autonomy Act (1916)
