Ok. a modern day Nusantra bond together by a Spanish colonial past; so there should be a high chance of a Christian majority? Not sure, but definitely an extremely Maritime nation. Note that, the problem is that Spanish colonies are usually have bad economy and very regional because of the way...
If Aguinaldo fails to kill Bonifacio and Co. he will have a harder time controlling the other Katipunan cells around Manila. While it would be bad for the revolution, I'm certain if Boni can kill E.Aguinaldo fairly quickly it will lessen the future backstabbing in the ranks. So there would be...
Boni is by definition a self made man. He came from a well off family, but his parents died early living him and his siblings to fend off for themselves. He is in every way has the potential to lead the katipunan to victory against spanish Intramuros, but his luck sucks really bad...

The Philippines should have been a major naval power in south east Asia. It has a lot of ground to protect and it should have enough resources to field a decent amount of destroyer and frigates. If only it's government can get it's act together...
Either Formosa becomes a part of a greater Philippines, which consist of Formosa, Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao and Sabah. Or it is given to blue China who would eventually lose to Mao. Or it would become something like Guam.
I'd go for a greater better militarised Philippines getting Formosa to...
The people in-charge would most likely send in people from the surrounding areas of manila to increase the head count of the colonist in taiwan, its nearer compared to Cebu. Maybe a few political exile from china and japan, for increase in variety.

I think its possible for Spain to take Formosa from the Dutch if Manila sends aid. My other concern is when Koxinga arrives with his army to take Formosa, would the Spanish Colonial Government in Manila be able to hold it?
