I'm making a new countryball again. This time it's an alternate Philippines.

The AU is that Philippines gained independence at an earlier date because in this timeline, Andres Bonifacio was never executed and goes on to free the Philippines. On June 12, 1897, a year earlier than OTL PH, Philippines gains independence. US only conquers the Philippines in 1909 and lets go of it after WW2. Philippines has more American influence in its culture (including American Football being a popular sport, basically the equivalent of basketball in the OTL Philippines) but retains much of its Spanish influence, including Chavacano language still being spoken in Manila.
