In the Philippines, the term "commonwealth" refers to the period of self-governance under U.S. administration from 1935 to 1946. During this time, the citizens of the Philippines, particularly those who were Filipino nationals, were considered members of the Commonwealth. This included a diverse population comprising various ethnic groups and cultures throughout the archipelago. Today, the term may also reflect the collective identity of Filipino citizens and their shared governance and rights.
