For those of you with an interest in Taiwan Aboriginal stuff

KuKulzA28, thanks for this thread, and I really enjoyed reading it.

What continues to intrigue me is that how come some of the northern Luzon (Philippines) bolos look almost exactly the same, as pointed out by Dajak for instance here?

Of course one logical explanation is that the Austronesian migration to the Philippines came by way of Taiwan (see invasion route below of your great-great-xxx grandfathers).

Which points to the fact that we are distantly related, and so you should give me your laraw as a way of further cementing our common cultural heritage

PS - By the way and as we all know, aside from archeology one other solid proof of this Austronesian migration theory is linguistics. The languages of the subject peoples are related to each other.
