Probably the Philippines would had been part of either Indonesia or Malaysia. Actually many words in the Pampango and Ilocano dialects are similar to words in Indonesian or Malaysian languages. I am a Filipino and had been to both countries for quite sometime. When they speak in their native language, I can pick up some of the words they're saying.
