Probably wouldn't - decolonization might ensure we stay Balkanized.
Yes..., Balkanization of the Philippines might happen...
ASB; yes.., a man from OTL's Philippines... (let's assume that it's me) will suddenly sleep on his laptop and woke up to meet Dr. Jose Rizal while on his way to bed in Hongkong in 1892... And so... We're gonna change the history of the Philippines... The Malolos Republic might have him as President since he's going to be a closet revolutionary rather than a reformist... And by the time the Americans came; We're gonna prevent George Dewey in making his tactics whatsoever in fooling Aguinaldo in the Battle of Manila in 1898 and thus giving the Americans a base of operations to land troops and start the Filipino-American War by February, 1899... The Philippines might Meijinized and with my knowledge... help the Philippines in becoming a buffer Switzerland to prevent the Japanese rampaging here... And a Filipino cabal might rise up and yes, we're guided out of our condition right now... Yehey!! A consequence though would be how Spanish would be our official language right now and not English...
