During the Spanish-American War, the forces were able to capture Cuba, Puerto Rico and Guam, but the invasion fleet sank in the Philippine Sea in an unexpected typhoon. The Philippines remained in Spanish hands until 1947 after WWII when they gained their independence.

What would have been the consequences if the Philippines had fallen into American hands?
I honestly cannot imagine the streets of Manila filled with people speaking English instead of Chabacano or Spanish.
