If the question is referring to the "Philippine Insurrection" in 1900, the war lasted about two years, was bloodier than the Spanish-American War of 1898, which spawned the Philippine Insurrection; but in the end, the US defeated the insurgents. If the question is referring to the TWO Battles of the Philippines: the US Army under General MacArthur, and later General Wainwright, surrendered the Philippines to Japanese Forces in 1942. MacArthur had been evacuated, under the US President's orders, to Australia; Wainwright remained to become a POW, along with the US/Allied Forces. The last Battle of the Philippines was in 1944, in which the Philippines were liberated by the allied forces; and GEN Douglas MacArthur, kept his word, "...I shall return."

In battles in the Philippines and Puerto Rico during the Spanish-American War, American forces were joined by local insurgents and volunteers. In the Philippines, Filipino revolutionaries, led by figures such as Emilio Aguinaldo, allied with the Americans to fight against Spanish colonial rule. Similarly, in Puerto Rico, local militias and volunteers supported the U.S. troops in their campaign to liberate the island from Spanish control. This collaboration was instrumental in the swift victories achieved in both territories.
The battle that led to the American recapture of the Philippines was the Battle of Leyte Gulf, fought in October 1944. This decisive naval engagement marked a significant turning point in the Pacific theater during World War II, as it allowed Allied forces to secure a foothold in the Philippines. Following the battle, American ground troops landed on Leyte Island, leading to the liberation of the Philippines from Japanese occupation.
Perhaps because Puerto Rico and the Philippines were physically attacked by US forces.
