So after WW2, Charles Vyner Brooke ceded Sarawak to the British Crown and many Sarawakians did not like decision and an anti-cession movement existed until the 1950s.

EDIT: What if Charles Vyner Brook decidesto cede Sarawak to the Philippines instead to Britain. He could not rebuilt Sarawak and the Christian population of Sarawak could fare better under the Philippines, a Christian state.

So Philippines keeps Sarawak, with a less Anti-cession movement of Sarawak. Because of Sarawak Christian population they would be willing to work together with the Filipinos. This is also gives a greater claim for the Philippines to gain Sabah in the future as well, maybe in the 50s or 60s.

So if they can keep Sabah and Sarawak, how would the Philippines as a whole and also specifically Sabah and Sarawak develop in the future?
