EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the 2nd Philippine Commission, convened in 1900, during the early American colonial period of the Philippines. Seated at the center is William H. Taft, who would later become the 27th President of the United States, serving from 1909 to 1913. Taft was appointed as the first civil governor of the Philippines in 1901, and the commission was established to draft a constitution and pave the way for self-governance. At the far left of the image is Dean C. Worcester, an American diplomat and politician who served as the first chairman of the commission. Worcester played a significant role in the Philippine colonial administration, particularly in the areas of education and agriculture. The commissioners are seen in a formal setting, seated around a large desk, likely in an office or congressional library. The image offers a glimpse into the diplomatic and political landscape of the time, showcasing the men responsible for shaping the future of the Philippines as a territory of the United States. The photograph is a valuable historical artifact, providing insight into the people and events that shaped the heritage of both the United States and the Philippines during the 20th century.
