 Filipinas Dentro De Cien Anos

We know their present.

Now, what will their future be?
Will the Philippine Islands continue to be a Spanish colony, and if so, what
kind of colony? Will they become a province of Spain, with or without
autonomy? And to reach this stage, what kind of sacrifices will have to be
made? Will they be separated from the mother country to live
independently, fall into the hands of other nations, or ally themselves with
neighboring powers?
