The 1943 Philippine Constitution
« on: September 04, 2011, 04:37:27 PM »
by PNA

On September 4, 1943, the Japanese-sponsored 1943 Constitution was signed and ratified in a general assembly two days later by 117 members of the Kapisanan sa Paglilingkod sa Bagong Pilipinas (KALIBAPI), the only political organization allowed during the Japanese occupation.

Hence, the Second Republic (1943-1945) was formally proclaimed, with José P. Laurel Sr. appointed as President and inaugurated into office in October 1943.

Laurel was highly regarded by the Japanese for having openly criticized the United States for the way it ran the Philippines, and because he had a degree from Tokyo International University.

Accordingly, the 1943 Constitution was recognized as legitimate and binding only in Japanese-controlled areas of the Philippines but was ignored by the United States government and the Philippine Commonwealth government in-exile.

On this same day in 1862, Rosalio Silos, musician, nationalist and a martyr, was born. He was charged for participating in the revolutionary movement and being a mason and was shot to death by firing squad on December 29, 1896.

Also on this same day in 1846, Daniel Burnham, an American architect who designed the cities of Baguio and Manila during the American occupation, was born in New York, U.S.A. (PNA)
