Independence — most Filipinos wanted to become their own country.
Context: earlier reformers (the Ilustrados/Propaganda Movement) had sought representation and rights within the Spanish Empire, but after Spain resisted reforms the movement radicalized (Katipunan, 1896) and led to a push for full independence. Few Filipinos broadly wanted U.S. annexation; that option was imposed after the Spanish–American War and met with Filipino resistance.
