The Philippines declared independence from Spain on June 12, 1898 to form the First Philippine Republic. However, it was not recognized by Spain, who gave the territory over to the United States as part of the treaty to end the Spanish American War. The United States likewise refused to recognize the declaration.
Instead, the United States governed the Phillippines as a territory from 1902 to 1935 and then a Commonwealth from 1935 to the Japanese occupation during WWII. The Japanese occupation forces created a puppet state refered to as the Second Philippine Republic. The Philippines were not officially recognized as an independent nation-state by the United States until July 4th 1946, officially creating the Third Philippine Republic.
Note: Originally, Philippine Independence Day was recognized as the July 4th date. However in 1964, the day was switched to the June 12th date.
