I want to know the answer to the following question:
Where did the US defeat occupying Spanish forces prior to the Philippine American War?
All the background I'm provided with is that "The Philippine–American War (1899–1902) was an armed conflict between a group of Filipino revolutionaries and the American forces following the ceding of the Philippines to the United States after the defeat of Spanish forces in the Battle of Manila.". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: yes
