1896 – A Philippine Timeline
Verse 1
By 1896, the rebellion fomented by the Katipunan, a militant secret society, had become a full-blown revolution, proving to be a nationwide uprising. Rizal had earlier volunteered his services as a doctor in Cuba and was given leave by Governor-General Ramón Blanco to serve in Cuba to minister to victims of yellow fever. Rizal and Josephine left Dapitan on August 1, 1896, with letter of recommendation from Blanco.
Rizal was arrested en route to Cuba via Spain and was imprisoned in Barcelona on October 6, 1896. He was sent back the same day to Manila to stand trial as he was implicated in the revolution through his association with members of the Katipunan. During the entire passage, he was unchained, no Spaniard laid a hand on him, and had many opportunities to escape but refused to do so.

Rizal is able to go to Cuba and writes his third major book Kamandagan which has content about the history of Luzon, which is about the nobility of Luzon and its history which would promote a separate nationalism in Luzon or Selurong which would complete on 1898.
The Bonifacio brothers were found guilty despite insufficient evidence and recommended to be executed. Aguinaldo commuted the sentence to deportation on May 8, 1897. Bonifacio's close associates like Emilio Jacinto and Macario Sakay continued the Katipunan and never recognized Aguinaldo's authority would cleave the Katagalugan state and welcomed Bonifacio creating a Magdiwang state.
The Katagalugan state of Bonifacio faction would later strengthen and defeat Aguinaldo's faction and acquires American help which would quash what remains of Aguinaldo's faction and the Spanish in Luzon.
During this time Visayas would be majorly under the Federal Republic of Visayas
However..
On 1898 the Americans would get Luzon and the Spanish Pacific Islands from the Spanish and help the Spanish maintain their hold on the rest of the Philippines which is Visayas and Palawan, this is treated as a treacherous move from the Americans and in this time Jose Rizal returns to Luzon and promotes his book of Kamandagan.
On 1898 to 1902 After the Spanish and Aguinaldo were defeated and before the Annexation many of Bonifacio's partisans would sack Manila and expel the Spanish Elite in Luzon and kill many of the Spanish friars.
The Americans would negotiate a treaty with the Katipunan in a deal similar to Hawaii, however in 1902, causing an uproar in Katipunan which would cause a brief Katipunan-American war, this would cause a stress to Bonifacio which would cause him to die in 1910.
On 1902, the Spanish would quash the Visayan revolts with American help, however the Dutch and the British would quarel over Mindanao which would cause some instability, the Germans would buy the Spanish rights over Cebu, Leyte, Mindanao and its rights over the Sultanate of Sulu and Maguindanao, receiving the territory in Zamboanga and Spanish territory in Mindanao cementing their influence in Mindanao expelling the Dutch and the Germans and annexing the Republic of Zamboanga in the same fashion as the Americans did in the rebellion in Luzon/Selurong.
The Americans would initially install Arthur Mc. Arthur on 1902 as the Governor General of the Acquired territory, the book of Jose Rizal, Kamandagan would enter the Philippine shores and treated by some as American propaganda, the Americans would shift their capital on Luzon on Subic which is the chosen base of the Americans in South East Asia.
