Cutting (Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act). But when it was in a Senate Committee, many members debated to prolong commonwealth years, with others arguing about military presence. In Manila, even though Quezon believes that the independence bill will pass through, opposition to some of its provisions mounted from Filipino members of the Legislature. After many arguments, session endings, and demonstrations, in December 1932, the Hare–Hawes–Cutting Act passed on the both chambers, and overridden the veto of President Herbert Hoover by January 1933. With the passage of the bill, Philippine Legislature needs to ratify it. Quezon stated his opposition, and called for revision of some of the provisions. With the return of Osmeña and Roxas in Manila by August 1933, and they clashed with Quezon, who campaigned for the rejection of it. Only 7 senators and 24 representatives voted for the bill. Later, Quezon lobbied for Tydings–McDuffie Act, with only difference is the military bases provision which can be negotiated its extension.
