WI:Spain finds a Christian Kingdom in Luzon

What if the Spanish finds a catholic kingdom in Luzon that is converted to catholicism itself by portuguese missionaries, particularly Luyag na Kaboloan and its sister kingdoms which are dynastically related to Sunda and Majapahit itself, in otl Sunda allied with the Portuguese, what would be its consequences on the colonization of the Philippines.

If we are talking about time Magellan arrives not possible. Portuguese were just establishing themselves in East Indies. Delay Spanish contact with Philippines 100 then possible. But if these people are catholic they Ruth under Portuguese rule or they subject nation to Portugal.

In reality the Kingdom of Sunda, Bali and the Kingdoms in the North of the Philippines have dynastic links so an independent christianization is possible..especially if Sunda converts..an independent christianization that is.

Yes independent Christian contact could of happen but by time Megelkan arrived he would not of found a Christian country.

Also if we delay 50-100 years Portuguese contact would of happen also and chance of allignnent would be high.

Actually it is not magellan that explored Luzon it is Miguel Lopez de Legaspi in 1570's, so there is a time window between Magellan and Miguel Lopez de Legaspi's expedition to change things..
