[edit] Spanish Colonial Government (1571-1764)

The Royal Governor-General of the Philippines ruled the Spanish colony that is today the Republic of the Philippines except for 3 years when Manilla was held by the British. This territory was also called the Captaincy General of the Philippines and thus the governor also held the title of captain general, a military rank conferred by the Spanish Cortes. The men that held this position governed the Philippines and the rest of the Spanish East Indies from 1565 to 1821, on behalf of the Viceroyalty of New Spain.

[edit] The American Civil Government (1901-1935)

From 1901 to 1935, the Philippines were governed by the United States of America. The Governor-General was appointed by the President of the United States and approved by the Senate. Unlike the Governors General of the British Dominions, the American Governors General exercised active executive authority over the nation they were appointed to administer, more like Governors of British colonies.
