Renascimento v2


Chapter 1


On 1661, after the defeat of Maniago, due to the town leaders in Pampanga being deceived by the Spanish, Maniago decided to go to his ally, Andres Malong who also led a rebellion in the Island centered in Pangasinan since the majority of his faction had already surrendered to the Spanish, in this point in time there is a leader of this revolt in Ilocos named Almazan.


The Maniago-Malong revolt have been considered a threat to the Spanish control in Luzon due to the people actually supporting it and because the Spanish abandoned their war against the moros in Mindanao, the revolt caused the Spanish to lose most of their gains in the wars against the moros, this was due to the fact that the revolt became a threat to the Spanish rule in Manila and the Manila-Acapulco trade.


The rebels would welcome the Portuguese on 1668.


In the same time a revolt of the chinese would happen in Manila which would be attributed to have allied with Koxinga on 1662.

-The Castilians would transfer control of parts of the Philippines which is disputed between Portugal and Spain the Castilians would cede control of Northern half of Luzon/Selurong which is roughly the regions of Cagayan, Ilocos, Pangasinan, Zambales and Pampanga which the Portuguese would collectively call as Nova Segovia or Celudão/Selurong(also rendered as Saludong or Saludong) the cession would not include Bulacan and the Corregimiento of Mariveles.
