Unfortunately, what kasumigenx offers is a Tondo Hegemony over the Philippine islands with headed by a monarchy from the bloodline of either or both coming from the royal houses of Tondo and Brunei. In which the end result won't be called or even identified as the Philippines.
What the thread starter requested is unscrewed Philippines. So Philippines must be colonised by Spain to exist and the USA or another power must claim it as a whole from Spain to keep its integrity.
Pre-colonial PODs are ok. I'm referring to the Philippines as a georgraphical region not being screwed.
But Enough of that molave, what are your criteria for Philippines to be unscrewed?
The minimum would be one of these two:
- The Philippines remains independent of European powers similar to what Siam did OTL.
- It still gets colonized, but manages to be independent or self-governing with a stable political and economic environment in place (i.e. it didn't experience what happened OTL during the Philippine-American war or the chaos that surrounded Haiti after its independence).
If you want to go a little bit more wankish, make it like the Brazilian Empire or a SEA Great Britain analog (besides, the Philippines looks somewhat similar to the British Isles, isn't it?).
