The U.S. Senate approved the bill four days later on January 17, 1933. It required the Philippine Senate to ratify the law.  
</p>
<p>
The Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act was originally passed by the U.S. Congress in December 1932, but it was vetoed by President Hoover.
</p> 

<p>
The law promised Philippine independence after a 10-year transition period, but reserved several military and naval bases for the United States, as well as imposing tariffs and quotas on Philippine exports.
</p>
<p>
Philippine Senate President Manuel L. Quezon led a mission to the U.S. opposing the new law and advocated for the passage of the <a href="https://kahimyang.com/articles/2966/the-tydings-mcduffie-act-a-path-to-philippine-independence-was-enacted-on-march-24-1934" class="news_link">Tydings-McDuffie Act</a> which eliminated objectionable provisions of the Hare-Hawes-Cutting Act.  The Philippine Senate supported the new bill and won the support of new U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, which resulted in the passage of the Tydings-McDuffie Act of 1934, more popularly known also as the Philippine Independence Act.
</p>
<p>
It provided for Philippine Independence and also tax-free exportation of Philippine products such as sugar, coconut oil, and cordage to the United States and the diplomatic negotiation of the military bases issue.
</p>
<p>
The Philippines was granted independence on July 4, 1946
