Also in this TL, I plan on making the electricity grid in the Philippines mostly underground, so as to prevent much blackouts during typhoons and such. Also, gas is in lines, not in tanks like in OTL.

I also plan on having the Philippines find oil in the South China/West Philippine Sea in the 70's/ 80's, and they finally begin to switch to renewable sources at the start 2005.

What are your thoughts about these two ideas?
 
No more comments? I shall have the thread close if no comment arrives for the next three days.

Why?


Anyway the guy was a master of Counter Insurgency, he really turned the Hukbalahap rebellion around, In that part of the world thats a good skill to have.

That'll be expensive and hard. Japan continues to have a large part of its urban areas use overland electricity grids I think, and finding oil will necessitate equipment, technology and personnel - none of which I do not think the Philippines had OTL in the 60s and whatnot. South Korea is only barely catching up on oil drilling tech, and they were aware of some oil being deep down south for decades.
 

Well if there are no more comments then it means that the discussion has come to a close and no more ideas can come in.

I agree that the country won't have an all-underground power grid, but a huge portion of it is ITTL.

Could they have gotten those resources from the US?

 
So with the resurgent Philippines, how will ASEAN fare? (if course, if RP didn't invaded SABAH at the 60s.)
 
No, still no Maphilindo. Their claims (esp. Sabah) will still be bones of contention between Malaysia. Konfrontasi continues as OTL.

Well most probably ASEAN is more prosperous.

If by tomorrow no more ideas come in, then it means that this thread has finished sharing ideas and so I'll have it closed.
 
Can't we have the possibility of Philippines taking down the claims on Sabah? I don't see a MAPHILINDO but I just want a stable SEA.

So what will happen to Sukarno? How will Philippines react to Suharto?
 
Ok, I'll take that into consideration. The reason I wanted the claims to go unabated and Konfrontasi to continue it's that I hate the Maphilindo project. So no Maphilindo. If relations are not sour, could the PH-MA-IN triumvirate have found ASEAN?
 
I'll only post my TL when I'm finished with it, so as to avoid any possible conflicts with my schedule. Everyone will have to wait for a while.

EDIT: Closing this thread...
