I have confirmed Papuan ancestry by DNA testing. Did the Papuans travel to the Philippines in their Lalakois?

Where and which Filipino group did you come from? The ancient inhabitants of Southeast Asia were related to Papuan people and I believe they were the majority until the "Mongoloid" people came and assimilated them. In the Philippines, Papuan or Melanesian genes is higher among some indigenous tribes like Negritos and Manobos. It also makes up a minor portion of lowlander Filipino genes, it gets higher as you go south.

There is no historical evidence or records indicating that Papuans traveled to the Philippines in their Lalakois. Lalakois are specifically associated with the culture of the Papuan people and are traditionally used for rituals and ceremonies in their own region.

Why would it have been easy for the Japanese to approach kokoda from the north than for the Australians and Papuans approaching from the south?
It wasn't easy at all. By the time they pushed to the point where they could see the lights of Port Moresby, many of the IJA men were ragged and half-starved. The humid, unforgiving terrain of the Owen Stanley range was a nightmare for both sides, Allies and Japanese, to contend with.
Are pacific islanders black?
Pacific Islanders appearance by way of their skin color varies actually....from very fair skinned to olive and dark brown. Apparently our looks are decided by only one genetic gene :-) It also depends on what category of pacific islanders your referring to. There are melanesians, micronesians and polynesians, Papuans (as far as im aware). Melanesians are the darkest skinned of these three groups whilst micronesians and polynesians are usually ranging from light to medium-dark brown. Melanesians within Solomon Islands are black-skinned unless they are of malaitan descent, melanesian malaitans are brown. Also depends on what you class as black ;). Don't know much about Papua New Guineans as that's not my culture but i do know that they're are many fair-skinned papuans - some look as though they are white with just a slight tan! and then there are those in boganville who tend to be very black
