Which year saw the Philippine constitution approved by the Kalibapi?

• A. 1986
• B. 1935
• C. 1943
• D. 1973

Answer: (C)

During World War II, the Philippines had a puppet government under Japanese occupation, with the Kalibapi as its ruling party. This regime adopted a new constitution to establish its political framework. The Constitution of the Second Philippine Republic was approved in 1943, giving the regime a legal structure and recognizing its leadership during that period. The other years refer to different eras: the 1935 charter was the Commonwealth constitution before the war, the 1973 charter was created under Marcos in a different political context, and 1986 marks the post‑People Power change. So the year the Kalibapi approved a constitution is 1943.
