The Philippines had successfully stabilized its rule over Malaysia, much to the surprise of the international community.
King Alfonso, a leader known for his measured and strategic approach, had chosen not to "bite off more than he could chew."
Instead of immediately embarking on grand conquests to conquer all of Southeast Asia, he prioritized the well-being and stability of Malaysia and its people.
He recognized that the Philippine military, while formidable, lacked the personnel required to manage vast territories. With time and careful planning, he aimed to bolster the military's ranks.
Alfonso's strategy was straightforward: consolidate and fortify. By stabilizing the newly acquired Malaysian territories, he provided a testbed for his military forces and a platform for gaining valuable experience in the art of governance.
