Hey everyone. I'm just taking a break from my other TLs in order to discuss about a set of ideas for a Philippines-centric TL that I was going to do, but couldn't agree on a set of ideas. That is why I will make this into a discussion thread. So here are the ideas that I had in mind:
1) The Katipunan is splintered into three groups instead of two, and the revolution is easily crushed. However, one of the groups exiled themselves in Japan (Artemio Ricarte, Macario Sakay, and Gregorio Del Pilar). This will happen in 1898.
2) Aguinaldo doesn't come back to the Philippines when the Americans come to take the islands from Spain, but this would butterfly the Philippine-American War and the ejection of the Spaniards.
3) Ramon Blanco doesn't get replaced by Camilo de Polavieja as Governor General of the Philippines. This has an effect on Rizal since he would not be executed for treason, and instead is permanently exiled.
So that's it.
