Complete the sentence about Manila with the correct year: Under the American occupation, Manila became the first chartered city in the country, designated by Philippine Commission Act No. 183 on July 31, ______.
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. 1901
Manila is the Philippine capital, and under American rule it became the first chartered city in the country through Philippine Commission Act No. 183 on July 31, 1901. It gained autonomy later, with Republic Act No. 409 in 1949. The years 1871 and 1896 fall in Spanish colonial times, before American rule began, so neither can be right.
