In the 1899, catastrophes happened that kills the 50% of the Christians in the Philippines and the Spanish Settlers in 1898 the plains of Luzon was ravaged by Earth Quakes and a tsunami this causes the decrease in population of the Christians in Luzon and a tsunami in Visayas and Mindanao causes the population of Visayas and Mindanao to decrease, the Spanish were already defeated by the Americans and had already given the Philippines and Cuba. Meanwhile, the population of the Cordillieras in Luzon which population was not converted starts to Increase and have a baby boom along with the surviving people of the lowlands they see the valleys and plains depopolated so they decided to repopulate the plains...the Americans decided to build some structures and help the recovery of the land. The Americans decided to rebuild the cities of OTL MetroManila and the other cities near it and provide basic government institutions for the people, Mindanaoans decided to establish a Republic of Mindanao that will govern the chaotic island of Mindanao.

You seem so intent on ridding Christianity from the Philippines. A POD as late as yours would make it all ASB.

Not exactly ridding of Christianity but the revival of paganism and islam as majority religion I plan only to reduce the christians to 40% in my TL and convert the majority of the remaining christians to protestants...

Your method of achieving that end is however, quite unrealistic and implausable.
 
Not to mention that it's a freaking Spanish colony - remember that Philip II boasted of himself as the champion of the Counter-Reformation, and that in OTL Protestantism (of the American kind) didn't really take more than a foothold in the Philippines.

Also, my postcount is evil.

I don't think so natural calamities happen. ;)

It almost did in the Philippine revolution you just need the americans to ban catholicism...

Actually, a such a catastrophe is an ASB and a single magnitude 10 earthquake in the Philippines will not reduce its population by 50%.;)

I just exagerated my TL but I will revise it later on to make it more realistic just give me time to flesh this out..

It is the 50% of the population of the Plains..but the people in the mountainous areas are unaffected...

I adjusted this to 30% of Christians now..hihihi

While the remaining Katipuneros defeats the Americans in Luzon and reestablish the Republic of Katagalugan in Luzon and Bans Christianity.

I am thinking of what will happen on World War I on this TL..

That timeline is a bit unrealistic until the final part I quote above - then its incredibly unrealistic.

The Americans fight back and reconquer the Phillippines. Pretty straight forward.

I am still fleshing the TL out so the Timeline is still incomplete please just keep your suggesting ideas.:)

While the remaining Katipuneros defeats the Americans via the help of Japan in Luzon and reestablish the Republic of Katagalugan in Luzon and Bans Christianity it turns out that the newly established Republic of Katagalugan is a puppet regime of Japan. Japan decides to make Korea a protectorate and does not decide to annex it.
 
Remember folks, you're dealing with an OP who has stated on these boards that the Japanese occupation of the Philippines wasn't that bad. Plausibility, or even sanity, will play no part is this train wreck.

Well, japan has aided the Katipunan before the POD so it is plausible....

I said that the Japanese Occupation was better or supposed to be better is because Japan aided the Katipuneros but it was not but I think they were better compared to the Spanish and American occupations combined because they had policies which were quite genocidal which the Japanese did not do but of course Japan was a bad country then in the World War II.
