Answer:

The official religion was Catholicism.

Step-by-step explanation:

American missionary activities came as a result of the deep rooted influence which Catholicism had in Philippine life, almost in all aspects. There also existed Protestant animosity for the Catholics. In order to influence Philippine life and move them away from the cultural influences of Spanish Catholic rule, American missionaries received support from the U.S. Government as well.
