Permanent not Temporary
Verse 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.
After the time the Maniago-Malong revolt change its center to Pangasinan, the Chinese in the island of gold also revolted which coincided with the victory of Koxinga, it is rumored that Koxinga wanted to ally with the 17th Century revolters in the Island of Gold.
The Merdicas (also spelled Mardicas or Mardikas) were Catholic natives of the islands of Ternate and Tidore of the Moluccas, converted during the Portuguese occupation of the islands by Jesuit missionaries. The islands were later captured by the Spanish who vied for their control with the Dutch. In 1663, the Spanish garrison in Ternate were forced to pull out to defend Manila against the Maniago-Malong revolt (sacrificing the Moluccas to the Dutch in doing so). A number of Merdicas volunteered to help, eventually being resettled in a sandbar near the mouth of the Maragondon river (known as the Barra de Maragondon) and Tanza, Cavite, Manila.
Although the Spanish were able to defeat the leaders Maniago-Malong in Luzon, namely Maniago, Malong and Almazan in 1665, when the Spanish had a solid army with collaborators, Merdicas and Spanish, this revolt would inspire future revolts and the Christians in Luzon or Selurong or the Island of Gintu or Nueva Castilla would not resettle the sparsely inhabited inland flatlands of Luzon which is majority inhabited by Infidels such as Upper Cagayan, Tarlac, Zambales and Upper Pampanga river basin, further missions in those lands would fail after the revolt and the Spanish would focus on pleasing the nobility of the lands they already control in the island and the Tobacco monopoly in Cagayan would only be found in Lower Cagayan which is in Spanish control, the Spanish would favor the Kapampangans over the Tagalogs and the Ilocanos who made rebellions.
Due to the consequences of the strong revolt started by Maniago, the people would be more assertive of their rights to stay in their ancestral lands and would not leave due to famines but rather chose to defend their own rights.

Verse 2
Due to the Spanish under Manuel de Leon already lost and had already gambled out of their control of most of Mindanao, on 1670 due to the revolt, the following governor Juan Manuel Bonifaz would resettle some Tagalogs, Ilocanos and Visayans in their controlled area of Mindanao since controlling the Interior of Luzon would be impossible since the conversion has been a failure for these people and it would cause the Spanish to lose more of their control in the land and at this point it is the nobles who are ruling for them but the people of Ilocos and Southern Luzon, had learned that they would not take advantage of the difficulties of the Infidels in the Inland Luzon as they were part of the earlier struggle against the Spanish, due to the Ilocanos not wanting to resettle the territories of Nueva Ecija, Tarlac, Zambales and Nueva Viscaya/Upper Cagayan due to the people there are their allies in the revolt, the loosely controlled territories inhabited by majorly pagans in Luzon would slowly go away from Spanish control, the results were good for the people of the Saludong or Luzon.
The limits of absolute Spanish control in Cagayan is in the Tuguegarao area after the revolt and the area where the Spanish control fades in the Central Luzon Plains is on the last populous town of the Bulacan and Pampanga provinces, Karaklan and Bukid live in what our world is called as Nueva Ecija and Rizal Provinces, they are speak a language similar to Kapampangan), Ilongots, Irraya, Gaddang, Ifugaos, Isinay and Sambals and other areas where the Infieles lived are out of Spanish control.
The Spanish in Manila had Manuel de Leon jailed in Manila due to his repeated violations and infractions in his rule of the Philippines, the Spanish had learned the hard way, they needed to please the nobles in Luzon and gave them more rights but the peasants at this time had become more assertive of their rights, the Spanish after the resettlement of Ilocanos and Tagalogs to Mindanao cannot have more resettlement to Mindanao due to the people becoming more hostile to the Spanish rule.
The people who lived after revolt yearned for a more Permanent not temporary solution to their problems in their society and not a temporary one.

Verse 3
Even if the Spanish had the Incompetent Manuel de Leon jailed, the nobles in Luzon are no longer pleased of the Spanish rule in Luzon and wanted the Spanish out since the Peasants are already in an unrest and the Spanish are no longer pleasing them, the nobles would loose their interest and alliance with the Spanish and slowly lost their interest in the Catholic Church and the Spanish.
Spain is currently ruled by Philip III, the Spanish had experienced the loss of their rule in Ternate and most of Mindanao as well as their loss of Portugal and is also suffering the gradual loss of their rule in Luzon/Nueva Castilla or the Island of Gold as the Spanish could no longer help the nobles in Luzon as the peasants have learned of their rights.
Due to the rule in Luzon being unstable, the Spanish would be more desperate in clinging to the Manila-Acapulco trade.

Verse 4
While the Spanish ruled parts of Luzon or Saludong would have unstably ruled by the Spanish, the people in the areas not ruled by the Spanish continued their Polygamy and people had many children although not all of the children of the people who had many children survived to adulthood, the people of the Interior of Saludong that are multiplying like rabbits and living independently compared to the Christians living in the mercy of the Spanish and their nobles who do tribute work, the population of the Christians was later surpassed by the pagans on 1720 AD.
In this point some of the Christian Peasants become influenced by the Pagans, however, the Christians are still having problems in working the fields for their own hacienderos and the nobles who only have a string hold on their people and so does the Spanish central rule in Luzon.
At this point there are many threats to the Spanish rule in Luzon which are the Pagans living there because the Pagan population had surpassed the Christian population.
The Peasants have learned of their rights and periodic revolts and riots happen, the slowly losing control of the Spanish in Luzon was irreversible due to the change in the Peasants, while Visayas and the Spanish ruled Mindanao are more tightly integrated in the Spanish yoke, it would just be time before a great man expel the Spanish in Manila, revolt of Maniago-Almazan-Malong would continue under men who believed in what Maniago, Almazan and Malong.

Verse 5
On 1670, The Spanish had completely lost control of Nueva Ecija, Tarlac and Nueva Vizcaya, the Gaddangs and Irrayas attacked Tuguegarao and reclaimed it on 1670 expelling the Ibanag settlers north, the Irraya reclaimed Tuguegarao as their territory and the Irraya of the areas of Tuguegarao and Bolo would be the only one remained there and the capital of the Cagayan Province became Lallo.The Spanish would view this as a painful defeat and the proof of the Spanish weakness in the island and the natives would realize this and the fact that they can defeat the spanish and expel them, the Ibanags would support the revolt as well in their home territory in the area of Lallo and Aparri.
The Spanish were always defeated in their wars against the raiders in Southern Luzon and the Pagan raiders from Inner Luzon.
In this point the Spanish had already more or less integrated Portugal, however the Spice Islands were also lost like the interior of Luzon, the Spanish under the rule of Charles II of Spain cannot fix their loses on the archipelago and it is a matter of time before the Spanish will be expelled from Manila and the Spanish experienced another revolt from the Christians of Luzon, the Spanish can't do anything to displease the christian nobles or they will be kicked out.

Verse 6
On 1670 The Spanish at this point only controlled only the Coastal Parts of Luzon but the control to these areas are shaky and any challenge of the Spanish to the status quo will lead to their expulsion, these areas also have people who also support the revolt.
In this point the Ifugaos had been starting to absorb the Isinay and Kankanaey, the Karlakan, Bukid, Gaddang and Irraya would recover from what the Spanish did to them and start to multiply like rabbits, the Ifugaos multiply like rabbits as well, a republican government for the Pagan parts of Luzon or Selurong formed and it is centered in the areas of the Ifugao and led by a chosen person by the councils, since the revolt was funded, supported and perhaps started by the Majapahit scions in Luzon who led the old Kingdom of Sapa which was in a rump condition.
The Ilocos province recognized the Pagan government in 1670, expelling the Spanish in the area and the Bruneian descended part of the principalia start losing their power in Luzon and the areas of Luzon or Saludong that is under the Spanish are now partially under the control of the new revolutionary government of Saludong, the pagan government is an expansion of the old Kingdom of Saludong.
The Chinese revolts that were said to be instigated by Koxinga were also said to have aided the revolt of the chinese since 1662, however the revolt of the natives is anti-china and the people of Saludong lost to the revolt in 1670, since the Northern half of Luzon has nonexistent chinese population, their propaganda is not believed and it turns out that is led by the Neo-Majapahit scions who want to restore the old territories of the Kingdoms of Kaboloan and Sapa who retreated to the mountains and to the people who are hostile to the Spanish colonization which are loyal to them like the Irraya, Karaklan, Bukid, Apayao, Ifugao and Ibaloi.
The Ibanags and Kapampangans who once were collaborators to the Spanish jump ship in 1671 and help the Kingdom of Sapa and its NeoMajapahitan leadership which is also called as NeoMajapahitan Faction which are behind the revolts including the Maniago, Almazan and Malong revolts.
By 1672 it is obvious that the Sapa Kingdom/NeoMajapahitans in Luzon, the Kingdom of Gowa of Celebes, Madya-as, Ming Loyalists(who want Manila), Sulu Sultanate and the Maguindanao Kingdom would have an obvious or innevitable victory against the Spanish and it turns out that these are conspiring against the Spanish since the time that the Spanish came and they had consolidated their forces at this point in order to win and at this point they will be cooperating with each other, in this point the Spanish would give Celebes to the Portuguese and had already abandoned the Spice islands in 1663 but the Spanish position in the Philippines gets weaker and weaker as years go by in 1673 and the Dutch and the Portuguese would join in by allying with the rebels in 1673, which will seal the fate of the Spanish colonists into their complete expulsion in the late 1720's.
The Spanish would completely lose all control of Northern Luzon by 1675 due to the revolt being strong in the north and due to the Spanish being expelled by the NeoMajapahitans.
In this time Koxinga would cooperate with the rebelling factions of the Philippines which are against the Spanish and plan the transfer of Tungning to Manila from Formosa, during this time the Portuguese buy out the Spanish rights in the Northern half of Saludong which the Spanish are expelled which would aid the Portuguese and the dutch in the alliance with Saludong.

Verse 7
Koxinga would help the revolts in the south in the Philippines and the factions seeking to expel the Spanish and he had the idea of getting Manila directly from the Spanish and would negotiate with the other states of their borders with Koxinga and their partition of the old colony of the Spanish Philippines as well as their future borders especially the borders of Koxinga's state and the Majapahitan Faction in the North.
In this time, one of the generals of the NeoMajapahitan faction in the North which includes the Rump Kingdom of Sapa and the remnants of Kaboloan would say that they are had avenged their faction from being backstabbed by Lakandula almost a hundred years ago and they had already restored their own realms of Kaboloan, Sapa and the old Majapahitan Saludong and that the part of the island that is theirs is now restored under their control and the Portuguese ally with the new Country of Saludong and the Portuguese would gain the primacy of the catholic religion in Saludong and it would ally with the Portuguese.
Meantime, the Spanish, already experiencing defeat from the NeoMajapahitans and Moros in the south would start to experience revolts from the chinese which have a significant population in the Manila and the Batangas/Comintan region, however since Koxinga is old, it would be his son Zheng Jing who would plan the invasion of Manila and the transfer of Tungning to the South of Luzon.

Verse 8
On 1678, the Neo Majapahitan Kingdom in the North and the Moros in the south attack Manila in alliance to the Tungning Kingdom which is planning its transfer to the Philippines.
The forces which are against the Spanish would sack manila in 1680 and destroy the City of Manila and Zheng Jing arrives reestablishing the city, the Spanish would retreat to Kumintang or Comintan and Camarines where there are still loyal people to the Spanish.
After the destruction of Manila, Zheng Jing would transfer his capital in Manila and the area around it and start the transfer of the Ming Loyalists to Manila.
The borders between the NeoMajapahitans and Ming Loyalists are established on 1682, the Ming Loyalists flood the area of Manila which the Spanish have lost, the city of Manila would turn from a Spanish city to a Chinese city overnight, this is a sigh of good for the Moros and the NeoMajapahitans.
