Not ASB.ASB. The US was contemplating 2 possibilities: A) Occupying solely the Port of Manila, B) Cubanizing the country and exerting influence economically, and C) total occupation. OTL they picked C. Alternately, they most likely would have picked the independence option, as 1) the Muslims didn't want a Republic - independence, but not a republic and 2) Manila under any ruler would never assent to an independent Mindanao, let alone the Visayas.
Partitioning Philippines into two is not ASB. Muslims in Mindanao doesn't want to be a colony with the US that's why they still resisting the Americans until 1913 while the rest of the Philippines surrendered to the Americans in 1903.
Muslims wants to maintain their customs and religion so it is better for the Philippines in a long-term run if Americans let the Muslims retain their government instead of populating the whole Mindanao with the Christians.
Had Americans partitioned the Philippines into two colonies, it reduce the resentment of the Moros not only to the Americans but to the Christian Filipinos.
