The Philipines were a colony of Spain and, like Cuba, were in revolt against Spain.

The US Navy in the Pacific was under orders to enter Manila Harbor upon learning of the outbreak of war between Spain and the US and to attack the Spanish fleet.

When Spain declared war on the US, the US Navy destroyed the Spanish fleet at Manila and began to assist the Philippine rebels around Manila.

As a result, the Philippines became involved in the Spanish-American War.

After the U.S. defeated Spain, one of the US requirements was that Spain sell the Philippines to the US.

Then the Philippines became involved in the Philippine-American War.
