William Jennings Bryan wins in 1896: Philippines protectorate?

In our timeline, defeated Presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan supported the Spanish-American War but opposed the takeover of the Philippines. If he had won in 1896, would an independent Philippine protectorate have been established, after the end of the Spanish-American War? If so, what would it look like?
 
There is no united Philippines in this POD, only a Tagalog republic as a protectorate is possible especially IF Bonifacio wins and a protectorate is possible at least if we kick Aguinaldo from the revolution via a regime change, since the people supported the Magdiwang faction and the lack of unity is a factor in the annexation and also there were separate revolts in Visayas and Mindanao.
