The area around Baguio has a climate more similar to those found in Europe (minus snow). OTL Americans seem to be at home on that place.
Like Shimla in India? Hot season capital of the Raj.

Well they did capture and hold Manila for two years until it was returned via the status quo ante bellum clause of the Treaty of Paris of 1763 since the news hadn't reached Europe yet. The main problem as in our timeline is going to be providing enough troops for a campaign that far away to pacify the other towns and countryside. If the news had gotten back before the treaty was negotiated which extra territory would the British have preferred to keep do people thing, Cuba or the Philippines?
