I was thinking what would have been the fate of the Philippines if German and later British and Malaysian Mindanao and Spanish Visayas if they were given to the US like Luzon in the Spanish-American War.

Luzon or rather the Tagalog republic is now 70% Tagalog speaking including the regions 1-3 which have Ibanag, Pangasinense, Kapampangan and Ilocano significant minorities and region 5 which have a Bicol Majority and they have a united identity as Tagalog Nationality tracing to the Katipunan and they are in free association with the United States since the 50's, as I remember the Americans tolerated the remnants Katipunan expelling the Peninsulares and the Pro-Spanish people and the americans even aided them which caused Manila/Intramuros to get emptied out and their capital is in Malolos.

If the Americans acquired German Mindanao and Spanish Visayas would the people of Luzon or Tagalog republic treat the people of German Mindanao and Spanish Visayas as their own people or treat them as their colonies
