DBWI:The hindus and muslim fail to expel the Spanish in late 17th century in the Philippines

What if the hindus and muslim fail to expel the Spanish in late 17th century in the Philippines, and due to this the coastal areas of the Northern Half of Luzon occupied by the Spanish fell to the hindus and the Coastal areas of Mindanao fell to the Muslims in Mindanao these are allied to Tungning and the dutch as well, the Hindu state of Saludong was made a client of the Dutch like what happened in Manado in Sulawesi?

From what I read the Christians did not get treated well after what they did in the Malong revolt which is a part of this larger revolt.

Would the Kingdom of Tungning still remain in Taiwan since they transferred to Manila, ITTL and served the finishing blow to the Spanish while other parts gone to the Sulu Sultanate, Maguindanao Sultanate and a Reestablished Madya-as if the Hindus never expelled the Spanish in the coasts of Northern half of Luzon? could they transfer to Borneo instead?

I've heard that the Philippines would Christianize in this scenario due to centuries of Spanish rule, but I kind of doubt it. Borneo and Sri Lanka were colonized by Europeans, but remained Hindu, so I see no reason why the Hindus in the Philippines would convert under colonialism. I think that we'd see a Catholic elite in this ATL, but not a massively Catholic country like some hack AH authors have proposed.

IIRC correctly, the "Conquista del Mar" which saw the Spanish government encouraging heavier settlement along the west coast of North America was done in response to losing the Philippines but wanting to keep control of some kind of trade route to China. So in a timeline where the Spanish keep the Philippines, the land that is now Las Republicas Unidas de California would have been very sparsely settled if at all by Europeans, and another nation than Spain might have seized the land-Russia, probably?

I think an interesting possibility is the Philippine islands might end up as one huge country instead of the multiple countries IOTL.

There is also a possibility of the people who want to revert to islams aka cryptomuslims might become completely christianized, and the spanish were blocading the hindus, the hindus could be targets of genocide by the spanish.

The Catholics in formerly Spanish occupied Luzon conquered by the hindus became either muslims(in the case of the cryptomuslims) or protestants, only the ilocanos remained catholics..
