The document summarizes the independence missions from the Philippines to the United States from 1919 to 1934 seeking independence, including the OSROX mission led by Sergio Osmeña and Manuel Roxas. It also discusses the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act passed by the US Congress in 1932 granting independence but vetoed by the president, and the subsequent Tydings-McDuffie Act passed in 1934 and signed into law, which finally established the process for Philippine independence.
