Luçon and Mindanao would go in a long time under Bruneian influence until the Sultanates of Selurong and Butuan reestablished their independence from the Bruneians, however the Sultanate of Selurong would only have a half of Selurong while Butuan would reestablish its dominance in Mindanao.

The Portuguese would establish their own factories in Calatagan and Tondo in Maynila and Sulu in the Bruneian Empire since the arrival of Pero Fidalgo expedition in 1545 in the land of the Luçoes which would strengthen the relationship between the Portuguese and the Bruneians and allowed the Portuguese to further trade with the Bruneians and Chinese in Calatagan and Tondo which would mean that in the East an alliance between the Portuguese and the Bruneians would form good ties and this would also help the formation of the Portuguese Colonies in the Eastern Sunda Islands and the Portuguese colonies in Maluku.
“On 1545 the Portuguese under Pero Fidalgo would arrive in the lands called as Dos Luçoes, because of the inhabitants of the land, the land that they live would be called as Luçon by the Portuguese.”
-Galvaõ
The Portuguese would establish more presence in the Bruneian Empire including the lands that are called as the Archipelago of San Lazaro, the Bruneians and the Portuguese would strengthen their partnership and cooperation, and the Portuguese would continue to sabotage the Spanish attempts on creating a colony in Asia.

During the late 1500s or 16th century the Islamization of the Ilha de Luçon or Selurong would have been starting to advance and was completed by the end of the 16th century and the beginning of the 17th century leaving some highland tribes remaining Pagan.

On 1549, Margaret of Angouleme would die and Henry II of Navarre would have made an alliance with the Portuguese by marrying the young Infanta Isabella as his own second wife, she was originally betrothed to the King of Spain, however Infanta Maria would volunteer herself to marry Philip II of Spain and a possible marriage was also offered for the Prince of Wales, the son of Henry VIII and Maria de Bourbon but that would not happen as a better marriage for her would happen and that would be her marriage to the King of Navarre.

Isabella of Navarre would give birth to two sons named John of Navarre(August 4, 1551) and Henry of Navarre(June 15, 1553) which would bump the Bourbon children of Jeanne of Navarre with her husband Antoine de Bourbon, the daughter of Henry II of Navarre from his marriage with Marguerite of Angouleme in the succession.
She would be regent after the death of her husband until John IV of Navarre would reach his majority.

On 1549, Portuguese Missionaries headed by Francis Xavier would arrive in Japan and establish Catholicism in Japan but it would not last as the Portuguese would prioritize trade as their priority over conversion of the Populace like what they did with Brunei in regards to Archipelago of San Lazaro and the Portuguese activities in Japan would be concentrated in the Kyushu area where there would be a small Christian Population which would briefly increase but would not increase to become significant.

The trade of Nagasaki and Macao would have helped the Portuguese Empire aside from their control over the Spice Trade to Europe as well as their own ports in the Bruneian Empire as well under the Bolkiahs.
