The Land Bridges Theory,
Plate Tectonics theory,
Sunda Shelf theory,
Volcanic theory &
the Continental Drift theory...
or
Philippines was once a part of Eurasia Plate that time we are still connected with China by the Land Bridges, as time pass by and earthquake and sea level rises these Land Bridges was sunken by the sea. As you can see in the map Batanes group of island looks like connected to Taiwan this where part of Land Bridges before.
Earthquakes and plate tectonic form our land masses, the reason why we got a 7,000+ islands is we are located in the Pacific Ring of Fire which is for thousands of years we always experienced a number of strong and moderate earthquake that causes some undersea landslide and separating land masses. Same also with the case of Japan, Indonesia, Northern Mariana Islands and Aleutian Island in Alaska.

The three main theories about the origin of the Philippines are the "Nibelungenlied theory," which suggests a Germanic origin; the “Lemuria theory,” which posits a lost continent as the source; and the "Out-of-Sunda" theory, which proposes that Austronesian peoples migrated from Southeast Asia to the Philippines. Each theory offers different perspectives on the country's history and cultural heritage.
Theories about the origin of the Philippines include the Out of Taiwan theory, which posits that Austronesian-speaking peoples migrated from Taiwan to the Philippines around 4000 BC, and the Southern Origin Theory, which suggests that the Philippines was first inhabited by seafaring people from the south. Another theory, the Out of Sundaland theory, proposes that the Philippines was settled by people from the Sundaland landmass when sea levels were lower during the last Ice Age.
The three main theories on the origin of the first Filipinos are the Out-of-Taiwan theory, the Southern Origin Theory, and the North-to-South theory. The Out-of-Taiwan theory suggests that Austronesian-speaking people migrated from Taiwan to the Philippines, while the Southern Origin Theory proposes a migration from the south via Borneo and Sulawesi. The North-to-South theory suggests a migration from the Asian mainland to the Philippines.
The theory of wave migration is believed to be the origin of the Filipino people. People from neighboring countries of the Philippines, such as Malaysia and Indonesia, were believed to be the first settlers in the land.
