WI: British Philippines

I was thinking what if Diego Silang and the Brits were able to get the sympathy of the people of Luzon and defeat the Macabebe Scouts and the Spanish on the 7 years war and were able to retain the Philippines after the 7 years war.

I think that the British would resettle Central Luzon with more Ilocanos just like the Spanish did in Cagayan Valley, Tarlac and Pangasinan before the 7 years war.

After the Brits get the Philippines would they be interested to get HongKong and Formosa?

Most likely, in fact that would probably increase British interest in the area. I could easily see them having more ports in China and Japan, as well as Papua New Guinea in its entirety.
