Philippine migration to Indonesia (Imperial Re-Uprising)

In 2349, the "Great One" sunk most of the Philippines, culminating in one of the greatest natural disasters in the Asia-Pacific. This resulted in the Indonesian government under President Tamir Simatupang, as well as the Mexican government under Costilla Nunez, airlifting millions of Filipinos from their sinking homeland.

These Filipinos migrants were dispersed throughout Indonesia, mostly based on their religion. Catholics and Christians normally settled in eastern Indonesia, while the Muslim Moros settled in the Muslim-dominated western Indonesia.

In 2350, the Philippine Government In-Exile was formed out of the former Philippine Embassy in Jakarta.

These Filipinos migrants did not retain their ethnic conciousness for long, and assimilated in the general populace. While the Philippine Government In-Exile attempted to set up schools for speakers of Philippine languages, the 2nd and 3rd-generation descendants all attended Indonesian-speaking schools, speaking almost little to no Filipino, and spoke only Indonesian and/or a local Indonesian language, and preferred an Indonesian national identity and the local ethnic identity over a Philippine identity, other than Indonesian, they spoke mostly Javanese or in the case of those that settled in eastern Indonesia, Makassar Malay.

Although despite no longer speaking Filipino, descendants of Filipino migrants influenced the language and lifestyles of the locals in eastern Indonesia. It also increased the total Christian and Catholic population of Indonesia.

The same can be said of Filipinos who migrated to Mexico, most abandoned their Philippine ethnic identity, and assimilated into the surrounding Mexican culture.

In eastern Indonesia, descendants of Filipino migrants helped develop, the normally undeveloped land, teaching the locals economics.

History
In 2330, remnants of the old Illuminati attempted to set up their abode in the Philippines. The Philippine locals were not aware that these were old Illuminati, and welcomed them.

Foreign diplomats from Indonesia and Russia were suspicious of these people, and authorities from both countries kept a close eye.

The old elite began to establish underground military empires in the northern regions, out of the eye of Philippine authorities. In 2349, Indonesian foreign contingents performing joint-drills with their Philippine counterparts discovered the plot, alerting both Jakarta and Moscow of the issue.

The elitsts found out that they had been compromised, and blew up their portals, causing the largest typhoon in all of Philippine history, one, that would result in the complete and total annihilation of the entire islands.
