How did the united states respond to philippino calls for independence?

"The rebellion causes the United States to act exactly like the Spanish did in Cuba. The United States placed the Filipinos in "designated areas," which were basically concentration camps. These areas became full of disease, poor sanitation, and starvation. Because of this, thousands of died there. Eventually, the US won, but it cost four hundred million dollars, which was twenty times the amount the US paid for the country."-from quizlet hope this helped :)

During the Spanish-American War, Filipino rebels led by Emilio Aguinaldo proclaim the independence of the Philippines after 300 years of Spanish rule. By mid-August, Filipino rebels and U.S. troops had ousted the Spanish, but Aguinaldo’s hopes for independence were dashed when the United States formally annexed the Philippines as part of its peace treaty with Spain.
