Americans oust Aguinaldo instead of Annexing the Philippines

From what I have read the long time, the people in Luzon where Katipunan rules don't like Aguinaldo which is one of the reasons the public supported the Americans, what if the Americans decided to oust Aguinaldo and replace him with one of his enemies which have the support of the people, the Philippines would not be united and the First Republic of the Philippines will be renamed back to the Tagalog republic overnight.

In this case Visayas and Mindanao will not be under the the same country as First Republic of the Philippines or the Tagalog Republic since they have their own revolutionary republics, if the treaty of Paris still happens in this scenario how would America treat the Visayas and Mindanao revolutionary republics as well as the Sultanates.

I'm too sure about leaders but figures Felipe Buencamino or Pedro Paterno comes to mind. I feel like if the Americans were to replace Aguinaldo, they need to find someone for the Tagalog Republic that is not like Luna. Someone who is moderate and able work with the Americans.

In hindsight, If this were the case, then the Visayas and Mindanao along with the Sultanates I think would be protectorates under American rule. America would have a hegemony over the islands for a time but on the other hand, the peoples of Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao will finally be able to govern themselves.

I think the one most likely to replace Aguinaldo would be someone like Makabulos, Sakay or Manuel L. Quezon since someone like them have support of the people and moderate.

The problem what would be done to the Visayas and Mindanao since the Americans want the resources of Mindanao.
