No there are no ethnic Malays in the Philippines. Not even in Mindanao or the Sulu Archipelago which touches Malaysia's northeastern most end. The presence of ethnic Malays in the Philippines is old and outdated. Because what people (Filipinos in particular) used to believe was that ethnic Malays came to the Philippines from Malaysia and Indonesia and formed one big happy family. "Bogus" is the only term I can use to describe this lie, because that is what it is. Bogus. Ethnic Malays originated from Yunnan, China. The origin that created who we know as the Malays then reached Tawian, Philippines and then later Borneo and Sumatra. Malays are also descended from Thailand.
Filipinos aren't even closely related to ethnic Malays. Sure, Filipinos and Malays are related because they are both Austronesian people. But Filipinos are only distantly related to ethnic Malays. The ONLY ethnic group from the Philippines that is closely related to Malays are the Tausug. The Tausugs are Muslims and even they don't consider themselves Malay. Even the Filipino Muslims don't consider themselves Malays. So no, there are no ethnic Malays in the Philippines. Malays don't form either a majority, minority or any population in the Philippines at all.
