OTL, the American "misadventure" in the Philippines was an absolute clusterfuck, with the US not really knowing what to do with the islands and the whole archipelago being seen as a drain on the US since the Filipinos themselves didn't want to replace old Spanish colonial masters with Americans and there were several revolts against American rule.

With a POD after 1899, how could the United States integrate the Philippines more into the nation than it was OTL? Could the Philippines ever be made American states? How would the United States react to states that were objectively majority non-white and non-Christian? How would Filipino culture and cultures react to sustained Americanization? I honestly have no clue.
