  2. How big of a Japanese cultural sphere and japanese creole community can Japan maintain in the pre colonial Phillipines?

  3. Surviving Roman civilization in Wales post 500 AD

  4. Surviving Roman civilization in Wales post 500 AD

  7. Arsenio Lacson, president of the Philippines?

    Lacson was a populist. He also had regular radio shows which could easily expose any politician. He is not a statesman though. He is definitely brave. It is like having Dirty Harry as your mayor. Or if old enough New Yorkers in this site still know Fiorello La Guardia probably similar to him...

  8. Philippines WI: Ramon Magsaysay survives, serves two terms?

    Possible. Philippines had a headstart over South korea in Heavy industry but tumbled after Magsaysay. Though those heavy industries will most likely be Steel and Shipbuilding. Those two are what the government focused since Quirino days. Most likely scenario is Philippines will eat up South...

  9. Philippines WI: Ramon Magsaysay survives, serves two terms?

    Filipino First Policy is not wrong per se. It simply recommends Filipino citizens for business first and foremost. What discouraged investments are the policies like tariffs. Before Garcia, the new and necessary industries act was in place which gave industries tax exemptions. That law was...

  14. A Philippine Warlord Era Possible?

    You could but you are going to replace essential crops like most of the rice in Pangasinan, and corn in Cebu. Or export crops in other provinces like Abaca, Sugar and coconut oil.

  19. A Philippine Warlord Era Possible?

    Economic Development would be in favor of the richest areas like Manila Bay due to geography and infrastructure. The only rail back then was Dagupan to Manila railway. Panay Railway which had capital coming from USA in 1906 would have to find ways to finance railroad in Panay, Negros and...
