I am doing a timeline wherein the Spanish still conquer the Philippines but Northern Luzon's connections to Java, Sunda and Bali are not severed..in this TL Luzon has an elite related to the balinese/javanese ones
I think the Balinese/Javanese design can do good churches as well..
Mejores Filipinas
Verse 1
On 1570, Linfeng was captured by the authorities in China due to his piracy activities, he was captured, causing him to be imprissoned and released later on, due to his imprisonment he was not able to continue his own piracy activities.
On 1572, the nobility of Kaboloan and Sapa or the Saludongese Kingdoms, known to the Spanish collectively as Reino de Luzon would make a treaty with the Spanish treaty of loose alliance and tributary relation with the Spanish and they would allow missions to happen in their domain and the recognition of the Spanish rule of the lands of Faru, Samtoy(Which includes Vigan) and Macabebe(includes Calumpit and Hagunoy) aka Pampanga, in this point in time Miguel Lopez de Legaspi is dying, he died in the same year as a treaty was ratified between the two sides although he is alive to see the treaty happen.
The petty kingdoms north would attract Hindu refugees from the Islamicized Java after the island would be heavily islamized.
The Balinese and the Saludongese Kingdoms would interact with each other which will cause the beginning of the Catholicization of the Kingdom of Bali in the South.
The Spanish would clear the lands of Faru and Macabebe of the Japanese pirates and christianize the moros or muslims living there.
Sometime afterwards Kaboloan and Sapa gradually became one entity named as the Saludongese Kingdom due to its dynasty being one which would be a sister kingdom of the Balinese and Sundanese Kingdom which are both daughters of the old Majapahit Kingdom.
