Isipin mo na lang na parang isang malaking puzzle ang pagkamit ng kalayaan ng Pilipinas. Ang Commission on Independence ang grupo ng mga Pilipinong nagpupulot ng mga piraso para mabuo ang puzzle na ito. Ang pangunahing layunin nila ay simple lang: gusto nilang maging ganap na malaya ang Pilipinas at mamuno sa sarili nating bansa.

Pero may isang malaking hadlang sa pagbuo ng puzzle na ito, si Gobernador-Heneral Leonard Wood. Siya kasi ang kinatawan ng Amerika dito sa Pilipinas at parang ayaw niyang ibigay sa atin ang kalayaan. Ang mga patakaran niya ay parang sinasadya para pigilan tayo na maging malaya. Halimbawa, pinapalitan niya ang mga Pilipinong opisyal ng mga Amerikano, at pinapakialaman niya ang mga desisyon ng ating mga lokal na pamahalaan. Para bang sinasabi niya sa atin, "Hindi pa kayo handa para maging malaya."

Kaya naman, ang mga patakaran ni Wood ay nagpagalit sa Commission on Independence at sa buong Pilipinas. Nagalit tayo dahil parang hindi tayo nirerespeto at hindi tayo pinagkakatiwalaan. Dahil dito, lalo pang lumakas ang ating pagnanais na maging malaya. Ang mga pagkilos ni Wood ay nagsilbing gasolina sa apoy ng ating pagnanais na makamit ang kalayaan.
