A ship sailing from the Philippine Islands to Florida would likely take a route across the Pacific Ocean, passing through the Philippine Sea. It might head northeast towards the coast of the United States, potentially stopping at ports in Hawaii or California. From there, the ship would continue southeast through the Gulf of Mexico to reach Florida. This route allows for relatively efficient navigation while avoiding adverse weather conditions.
Officially the US thought the Philippines might be the target.
No and it never will be. The Philippines is an island archipelago located in Southeast Asia. The Philippines is an Asian nation. The only reason you might ask is because the Philippines was once a colony of Spain. However after we won independence, we became our own nation that is considered part of Asia.
