Setting foot of Miguel Lopez de Legaspi
On 1570, Miguel Lopez de Legaspi land in Ysla de Luzon or Ysla de Tagala[1] where he would find two Sultanates, the Sultanate of Selurong and the Sultanate of Kumintang which the Spanish would record as Tagala and Comintan, the Sultan of Kumintang would be friendly to the Spanish and even gave the Spanish some bases in the Island of Selurong, which are Kota Selurong(Manila or Fuerte de los Tagalos) in Manila bay and its surrounding settlements which is under Kumintang’s suzerainty as a concession.
The Sultanate of Selurong would object to the Sultan of Kumintang’s decision and would try to ask for the help of Brunei to punish the Sultanate of Kumintang for his defiance and bowing down to the Spanish which insulted the Sultanate of Selurong, the Sultan of Brunei would tell the Sultan of Selurong to calm down and wait and see, the Sultan of Kumintang at that time is Sulayman III and the Sultan of Selurong is unknown as the Sultan of Selurong refused to contact with the Spanish but it is known in oral history there, Sulayman III is adviced by Rajah Matanda who was under Spanish custody during the El Cano expedition.
Limahong would attempt to conquer the Spanish settlement of Kota Selurong which would lead to Limahong’s defeat and the Spanish would follow Limahong to Caboloan which is west to the territories of the Sultanate of Selurong, the boundary of the Sultanate of Selurong and Caboloan is the Cordillera Central and the Agno River, the Spanish would destroy Limahong with the help of Caboloan and later convert Samtoy which would anger the Sultanate of Selurong as it is considered a part of their territory but the interior of Samtoy in Abra and the areas of the Yapayao and Adasen would be loyal to the Sultanate prompting them to ask the Bruneians to attack the Spanish starting the Castilian war in 1578.
The Bruneians and the Selurongese would be defeated in the Castilian War causing Samtoy and Caboloan to be under the Spanish as the Province of Nueva Segovia under the Spanish East Indies or Las Islas Filipinas but there would be border issues due to the Yapayao and Adasen who are under the Sultanate of Selurong afterwards they are known as the Sultanate of Sambali as they have lost the lands of Ilocos.
Note
The difference here is that Luzon becomes two Sultanates due to the territories of Kumintang and Selurong having different nobility as it was prior to Majapahit and Brunei and also being converted to Islam by Brunei, but at one point the historians would say that they were one at one point but there is no proof of that and Legaspi would interact with the two Sultanates.
1. The Spanish would only translate Selurong or Kota Selurong as Tagala in this timeline as the OTL Tagalog ethnicity does not exist in this timeline.
