Governor-General of the Philippines

Governor-General of the Philippines was the title of the chief political executive during two pre-independence phases in the history of the Philippines, under Spanish and U.S. rule.

panish Colonial Government (1571-1761)

The American Military Government (1898-1901)

"The American military government was established following the defeat of Spain in the Spanish American War".

The American Colonial Government (1901-1935)

"From 1901 to 1935, the Philippines was governed by the United States of America. The Governor-General was appointed by the President of the United States and approved by the Senate. Unlike the Governors-General of the British Dominions, the American Governors-General exercised active executive authority over the nation they were appointed to administer, more like Governors of British colonies".
