For more than 300 years, the Philippines was under Spanish occupation. And in the later period of the Spanish colonization, national conciousness and sentiment grew that sparked Filipinos to revolt. In its dream to be free from the Spanish rule, the Philippine revolutionary society Katipunan drafted its very own Constitution. A revolution was later launched against Spain and the Filipinos declared its independence in Kawit, Cavite on June 12, 1898. Malolos Congress was convened September of the same year and first Philippine Constitution, the Malolos Constitution, was approved.
