October 1930 marked a significant period for King Alfonso and the Philippine Kingdom. As the endeavor to support the Indonesian revolution against the Dutch continued, what initially seemed like a small-scale rally had evolved into a sustained conflict. The Dutch authorities had been left perplexed, attempting to uncover the source of support behind the uprising. However, as the months passed, their inquiries and the increased scrutiny of the revolutionary movements led to a shift in strategy for the Philippine Kingdom.
Reports from the Royal Intelligence Agency detailed that the Dutch had heightened their surveillance, attempting to track down any potential links or support from the Philippine Kingdom. In response to this, King Alfonso and his advisors decided to curtail direct interactions with the revolutionary groups to avoid raising suspicions that could imperil their plans to assist Indonesia's struggle for independence.
