Yes, also thanks for the information ;I'll start to research General Aquinaldo's formation of a Philippine Navy. Preliminary research for myself has shown that Naval operations were a important part of American tactics in regards to taking forts, conveying troops,destroying batteries as well as supplying food, ammunition, etc.I am also sure that they could blockade supplies to the rebels as well as regulate or restrict river commerce. I would think, that were the Philippine Navy to be effective in engaging the Americans, it would have to be in the shallow rivers, with the assistance of shore batteries.
