National Assembly of the Philippines

The National Assembly of the Philippines was the country's legislative body from 1907 to 1935, established during American rule. It served as the primary lawmaking institution, where elected representatives debated and passed laws. The assembly represented Filipino interests in governance and was part of a bicameral system alongside the Senate. After 1935, it was replaced by the Philippine Congress, which continues to serve as the legislative branch today. Essentially, it was the platform through which Filipinos participated in creating laws and shaping the country's policies during that period.
