Philippines as a world superpower is not so convincing even in alternate timeline. However, it's not a country to be underestimated. I view Philippines as a regional power in SEA, however path to become a superpower is not impossible

Berengar had long since desired to use Ludolf to be the Martin Luther of this world and to usher in the protestant movement. Something which would give Berengar a valid casus belli to seize the territories of the German world for himself after he came to power in Austria. After all the Catholics would never let an openly protestant state exist, and through the might of science and engineering, Berengar would bring down the influence of the Church over the German people and instate his own, one which would serve his interests.

He had gained quite the eye for fashion ever since he was transmigrated into this world and was surrounded by luxuries. As such, the attire of his peasant militia was that of the Landsknecht, which were elite mercenaries of the 16th-century battlefields from Berengar's previous life. Their clothing was honestly quite flamboyant, but it looked fantastic from Berengar's perspective.

coffee are common in the Islamic world tho, and HRE has ties with italy that has trade relations on the east and the Middle east considering that Byzantine empire exists.

Since coffee had yet to be transported to Europe, he was forced to drink water this early in the morning. He was beginning to consider expanding his territory when he came to power. It would not be easy to establish a trade route from the mountains of Austria to the near east, and if he wanted to retire in luxury one day, he would need coffee.

sorry to spoil the fun but in some parts of Europe like the french and the Italian city states they have the practice of bathing adopted by the preserved technology of ancient romans and influence of Islamic world. Some accounts tells that bathhouses are often connected to the bakery because the excess heat produced by the bakery can be used to heat the water in the bathhouse specially during the winter.

The more he thought about it, the more he knew he would have to construct public baths. It would take quite some time on his path of industrialization for the entirety of the populace within his family's domain to be able to afford a private bath. Truly the ancient Romans were far ahead of the medieval period when it came to things like cleanliness.
