WI: Indian and Malay Refugees in the Philippines instead of Ming Loyalist Chinese

What if Pagan Malays/Javanese and Indians migrate to the Philippines in droves instead of the Chinese Ming Loyalist.

In OTL the Chinese that migrated to the Philippines adopted Tagalog, Cebuano and Ilocano, the Malays and Javanese I think will adopt Ibanag and Kapampangan in Luzon which I think is closer to their languages instead.

How would this effect the history of the Philippines.
 
What do you mean?

I mean there were alot of Chinese that migrated to the Philippines when the Qing came in and they had their own quarters and community called as Parian - these chinese had Ming loyalist tendencies, what if the Malays, Indians and Javanese migrate to the philippines instead, what would happen.
 
What would lead the Malay/Indians to the Philippines? Disruption at home? Job offers in Manila?
What could be the cause for this?

Having the rulers in Luzon invite Malays and Javanese to settle in Luzon like the Poles made the germans stay - the few that did go to the Philippines before the POD settled in Cagayan Valley and Central Luzon, mind you there are languages already similar to Javanese and Malay there in OTL before the POD.

A combined POD would be alot of the Majapahit refugees migrated to Bali or migrated to the mountains, what if the Muslims conquered Bali as well and moving to the mountains is not possible and Eastern Indonesia is under Christian Spanish rule, so migrating to Luzon, Mindanao and Borneo would be the only choice possible.
 
I feel like you have geography working against you for this POD. The Philippines are close to southern China, with any interceding islands too easily placed under Chinese authority to serve as a refuge for Chinese with a reason to get out and stay out. Indians and Malays have multiple islands governed by fragmented authorities between them and the Philippines, the possibility of having all those islands taken over by an authority which is hostile enough to the Indians and Malays to keep them from settling but relaxed enough to let them pass through to the Philippines seems unlikely.

There is another set of refugees that can settle in the Philippines and it is the Chams from vietnam - those are also malays.
