House Of Representatives Of The Philippines

In 1916, the Jones Act replaced the Philippine Organic Act and the Assembly became the current House of Representatives of the Philippines. The first Philippine Assembly elections were held on July 30, 1907. These were the first nationwide elections ever held in the Philippines.
