Rizal’s survival
On 1896, Rizal and Josephine Bracken would be able to go to Cuba and was able to serve in Cuba to minster victims of Yellow Fever in Cuba and later goes on to the United States which would mean that his third book, Kamandagan would be finished which is about Luzon and his own research about Luzon which the Malay Historians call as Selurong and during that time, Katipunan would be in their height and Katipunan, Rizal’s book would reveal the history of Selurong before the Spanish came which would foster the identity of Selurong or Katagalugan as a country.
It was revealed that Rizal was framed up and was said to be loyal to the Spanish until the end and recanted his own involvement in Katipunan, the novel Kamandagan which is based on Rizal’s research is published initially in the United States and later in the Philippines.
On 1898, the Spanish would cede the Territory of Luzon also known as Selurong and Katagalugan and Cuba to the Americans and the Spanish Pacific territories as the Spanish have been defeated in these territories in order to prevent a hostile war with America who cede interested in Cuba and in the Far East as well, however, Cuba would be temporary protectorate.
Rizal and Isabelo delos Reyes would write up literature about the history of Selurong/Luzon/Tagalog Republic as a separate country on 1899.
The protectorate status would be praised by other people like Mark Twain as a smart move but it was said by some as a not so smart move as Mindanao went to the Germans then to the British and Malaysians after the fall of the German Empire due to the revolt against it by the communist.
