You may NOT include countries like Japan (East Asia), Phlippines - our country, East Timor, Singapore, etc. to the list because it is situated on Southeast Asia itself.
Because you said, "due east of Southeast Asia", I would say it's PALAU.
Here's what Wikipedia says about Palau:
"Palau is an island nation in the Pacific Ocean, some 500 miles (800 km) EAST of the Philippines."
