AHC and WI: Mexican Philippines

With a POD after 1821, have Mexico control the territory of the Philippine Islands. The Philippines was governed by New Spain during the Spanish colonial period.

And for a WI: What if Mexico at some point wins the Philippines from a war against Spain? What would be the effects, and perhaps are we going to see extensive Filipino settlement in Mexico and vice versa?

Mexico had a lot on its plate in the 1820s...including fighting off a Spanish invasion as late as 1827 or so, IIRC.

And whatever else Spain was dealing with after the revolutions in Spanish America, the reality is Spain had a navy - Mexico did not.

And that reality remained true through to 1898...

Best,

hm.

the best thing would be for all the Spanish Empire to demand independence at the same time.

perhaps something about Luis Rodriguez Varela getting martyred, sparking an earlier Philippine Revolution?
