| | From Zbaszyn to Manila, by Bonnie Harris, 2005 |
| | [78] With the inauguration of the Commonwealth era, the Philippines were exempted from the restrictive American immigration laws imposed by the U.S. Congress in 1924 because the Philippines were in the process of establishing autonomous rule. | | | Whenever situations demanded communication between the Philippines and the State Department concerning immigration, the practice was to transmit the message to the War Department via the Bureau of Insular Affairs, who would then forward the message to the designated agency, whether that was the High Commissioner or the Office of Philippine Affairs. | | | However, the Governor-General of the executive branch remained an appointed position by the U.S. President until the establishment of the Philippine Commonwealth, which was inaugurated on November 15, 1935. |

| | Foreign Affairs - The Philippines Without Democracy - Peter R. Kann |
| | Three hundred and seventy-seven years of Spanish colonialism followed by 48 years as an American colony and commonwealth overlaid the Philippines' fundamentally Malay culture with far more Western veneer than can be found elsewhere in Asia. | | | The Philippines, despite its somewhat deserved reputation as a land of "goons, guns and gals," is not a banana republic in which pear-shaped colonels in sunglasses have taken turns toppling each other in petty coups d'état. | | | The Philippines, it seemed to many abroad, was just another bit of Asian landscape with soil that had proved unsuited to the cultivation of Western democracy. |
