  9. The most accepted theory about migrations in Southern and Eastern #AsiaPacific is #Austronesian.

    From #Taiwan, to the #Philippines, and then the rest of #SouthEastAsia, #Micronesia, #Melanesia, #Polynesia, and as far as #Madagascar.

    If I'm going to interpret this, the natives of Taiwan survived as the primary people in what we know today as the Philippine archipelago. From the Philippines, they spread everywhere.

    In other words, they're all #Filipino! ᜑᜑᜑᜑ 😹 (Or, native Taiwanese to be exact.)
