Yuan did not conquer the Philippines or any part of it because it was back water to them.I'm not sure if having Nestorianism take root in the Philippines, although Ill Bethisad had a Nestorian Philippines. If the islands that make up OTL Philippines were to fall under the Yuan Dynasty, then there could be a good chance for Nestorian missionaries to proselytize there. Yes, I know that the Nestorians are not really the majority even in Yuan China under the Mongols, but there were a good sizeable population there.

Have some Malaysia and Indonesia states convert to Nestorianism instead of Islam, I think if one of the Sri Vijayan substates converts to Nestorianism, you have a better chance.

I think this is likely. Chinese traders and their families could immigrate to the islands, and along with Nestorian missionaries attempt to convert the indigenous well before the Europeans come. Having the Magellan blown off course to Japan or southward may buy the islands more time.
Also, Islam has also done well outside the Sulu Sultanate. The Kingdoms of Tondo (OTL Manila) and the adjacent towns and villages all have converted to Islam well before the Spaniards came.

The Nestorians did proselytize their faith in the Philippines but the Question is how could they survive.You mean the Chinese traders and Nestorian missionaries could migrate to Luzon Island? Only one more question: would they actually do it in the times of the Yuan Mongols?

I think giving Luzon an earlier increase in Population before the Spanish arrive will make Luzon as unconquerable as Mindanao was OTL since the Lowlands of Luzon were quite Homogeneous and speak languages similar to each other except for Ilocos and Southern Luzon, an earlier surge in population will cause those languages to unite as one and foster a creation of a united identity just like what I did in the map I made before.Having the Magellan blown off course to Japan or southward may buy the islands more time.
According to legend, in the first century AD. Saint Thomas went to India and evangelized there, which is why it's the "Mar Tomas" (=Saint Thomas) church.When did the Miaphysite Christians arrive in India?

In other words, very, very early.
Most likely they just allow the Portuguese to gain ports in their land just like they did to Goa and Malacca.You may have a bigger Miaphysite Christian power in what is now modern Indonesia, though the *Philippines would also be one as well. I'm not sure if the Spaniards would still colonize the islands, but chances are that the Portuguese may end up as their overlords.
