If I understand the question, the answer is no. Spain acquired the islands in the 16th century and held them as an imperial possession until the Spanish-American War in 1898. The only fighting in the Philippines which I am aware of was the Battle of Manila Bay. It was fought entirely between the US and Spanish navies. After acquiring the Philippines, the US then fought a three-year war against Filipino insurrectionists. Later, the Philippines and US fought together against Japan in World War 2, and the Philippines gained its independence from the US after that war ended. Cuba did help in the Spanish-American War because Cubans were already engaged in a fight for independence from Spain.

There was a conflict between the United States and Emilio Aguinaldo because the United States wanted the Philippines to help with the Spanish/American War. Emilio Aguinaldo was an early leader in the Philippines and did not want the Philippines to help the United States. Instead, Emilio Aguinaldo fought the United States for control over the Philippines in 1898.
After the Philippine-American War, the US governed the Philippines as a US possession. As it had promised to do before the war, after World War 2 the US granted independence to the Philippines.
No, the Philippines were allies of USA
William Howard Taft was the first US Civil Governor of the Philippines, but he got that appointment AFTER the Spanish-American War. There was no American governor f the Philippines during the Spanish-American War because until the war was over the Philippines were a Spanish possession and had a Spanish governor.

What role did the SpanishAmerican War play in the United States decision to build the Panama Canal? The United States acquired several territories in South America as a result of the war. Spain and the United States agreed to build the canal as part of the treaty that ended the war.

The United States needed a shorter route to the Philippines , where fighting continued after the war .
