Austroasiatic is barely visible on the average Filipino DNA results. Not sure how much Austronesian the Mainland Southeast Asians have.

Central Vietnam had the Champa kingdom which Austronesian and Peninsular Malaysia is in Mainland Southeast Asia and Malays are also Austronesians.
Champa, Chinese Lin-yi, ancient Indochinese kingdom lasting from the 2nd to the 17th century ad and extending over the central and southern coastal region of Vietnam from roughly the 18th parallel in the north to Point Ke Ga (Cape Varella) in the south.
Champa is basically located at Southern Vietnam which borders Cambodia. But this doesn't explain the fact that Austroasiatics are very visible in Filipino DNA
@abbm Austroasiatic DNA was reaching the Philippines during the last Ice Age when the Philippines and mainland Southeast Asia was just one landmass once. When the Ice Caps melted we received island hopping Malayo Polynesians since the melting ice submerged our lands and left the higher elevation mountains as islands. Meanwhile mainland Southeast Asia was still a unified landmass thats why Malayo Polynesians are limited to just Champa and Malaya, coastal areas.
Yes wholesale replacement in the Philippines and Indonesia while they only partially displaced the natives in Champa and Malaya.
Melenesian arrived first. Then the Austroasiatics. Lastly, our ancestors arrived.
