I say let the Mongols burn the entire archipelago. The survivors will band together to throw the barbaric hordes back to the sea.
There, easiest way to unite the entire OTL Philippine Islands into a single nation.![]()

Ah, but the pagans of the Visayas would react differently to the Muslims of Sulu, because both have far more parochial concerns.
When the Sri Vijaya fell Islam never existed in SE Asia yet.
Guys, what possible PoD for the Malay speakers to migrate to, let's say, OTL Bulacan-Manila-Cavite region, and their language to be influenced by Austronesian/Philippine focus and peppered by specific pan-Philippine words?
That would be possible, although in minimum.Chams and Javanese are more possible.
I was watching Jumong a decade ago..I was wondering why did not any Kingdom or Polity in the Prehispanic Luzon try to liberate the island from the Bruneians after the conquest of Manila by Sultan Bolkiah and establish an Empire like Jumong of Goguryeo..

Now what if these Greek traders managed to visit the islands after the death of Ptolemy. How could we imagine them, carrying the goods and knowledge of the Western world impact the islands during the 3rd onward.
Perhaps we could go for a later date when the city-states were more established on the islands and Byzantine traders arrive on the islands before the Fall of Byzantium?
Greek traders did reach the islands in 21 AD. But have the same Chinese "sickness" of not parting or imparting technology with the locals in OTL.

Dumagats should be the best bet for a semi-wankNegritos Highland state anyone?
