Portuguese and Spanish Colonization
In 1575, the Portuguese would secure ports in Ternate due to the Portuguese merchants being more in peace with the Ternateans and the Portuguese would have more riches in Ternate creating more ports in Maluku and also in Sulawesi and the Sangihe archipelago, the Sangihe Archipelago would be Christianized by the Portuguese, on 1581, Juan de Salcedo would arrive in Ternate and he would later marry a woman in Manila named Kandarapa, a widowed niece of Sultan Sulayman.
Salcedo would settle in Ternate with Kandarapa of Tondo, the Portuguese would establish their own settlements in the City of Maynila which was a concession with the Bruneian Empire.
In 1599, after the death of Philip II, under Philip III of Spain, the Portuguese and Spanish would establish the Manila-Alcapulco trade in Manila due to the concessions with Brunei, the Spanish would ignore the Sultanate of Selurong in the North which has gained control over the Kingdom of Kaboloan due to relations which are still close with the Japanese in contrast with the Bruneians who have some relations with the Portuguese crown although the Sultanate of Selurong is under Bruneian Influence, the Manila-Alcapulco trade would enrich the Bruneians, Spanish and the New Spain.
Only the English and the French would want to covet the new United Iberian Empire which began under Philip III of Spain, there would be extensive trade on the Portuguese territories and Concessions in the Bruneian Empire and New Spain which would create the Manila-Acapulco trade.

Colonization of Sugbu and Butuan
In 1570, the Portuguese under Charles I of Portugal would take over the lands that were lapsed from Spain in Sugbu and Butuan that Magellan has explored before and had made loyal subjects.
The Portuguese would send their own missionaries and started to build churches in Sugbu and Butuan, although the Bruneians would not contest that as Sugbu was not conquered by the Bruneians, although the Neighboring polity of Madya-as would have begun it being dominated by the Bruneians economically and were being infiltrated by the Bruneians, the Island of Mactan would be a Bruneian enclave due to it under Bruneian influence and was ruled by the Muslim Lapu Lapu creating a Muslim enclave on a majority Christian land.
The Bruneians would allow Sugbu and Butuan to be annexed by the Portuguese as the Portuguese would not annex any of their tributary and appanage states of the Bruneians which the Portuguese would do.

What's so 'humane' about it? The Spanish don't engage in more genocide and conquests in my timeline and share more power and land with the Portuguese. |
