    The document summarizes the nature, extent, and implications of Filipino participation in American colonialism in the Philippines in three groups: 1. Filipino elites participated in government and administration, leading to a new form of "democracy" dominated by local elites. 2. Indigenous groups like those in Cordillera and Mindanao were engaged through cultural and educational institutions, gradually eroding their traditional systems of governance. 3. Treaties with Muslim leaders in Mindanao initially respected their authority but ultimately undermined the sultanates and imposed American sovereignty.

    Consequently,
    these treaties
    with the Muslims
    led to the erosion

    Conclusion:

    After the Spanish colonizers ceded the sovereignty of The


    Philippines to United States, the Americans introduced a new method in
    living. The education system was given an attention and the economy
    and industry was a focus. The Americans had taught an “American-style
    of living for the Filipinos. The Americans didn’t only focus on the ordinary
    people in the Philippines but was also eager to bring awareness and
    knowledge in different indigenous groups in the Philippines.
