This political map of the Philippines appears in the Atlas of the Philippines, published in 1900 by José María Algué, the director of the Manila Observatory.
Although Algué obtained his position at the Manila Observatory in 1897, when the Philippines was still part of Spain, he retained his post when the archipelago came under American control. In fact, his authority enabled him to secure public funding to publish the Atlas of the Philippines of which this political map is a part.
On the political map, you can see all the administrative divisions that existed in the Kingdom of the Philippines and that were extended in the early years of American rule. These divisions, depending on their function, were categorised as provinces, commanderies or districts. On the lower left, you can see that the Sultanate of Jolo, which was independent until 1917, is shown as an integral part of the Philippines, as it was a claim of Spain from the mid-20th century.
