I do not see how the wreckage in the Philippines could be anything to do with MH370. It could not drift that far, if it had crashed near there debris would have turned up sooner. The QZ8501 co-pilot was still strapped in as far as I remember. A lot of the passengers were still strapped in their seats, although the seats were no longer attached to the plane (just like MH17). The cockpit of QZ8501 was not recovered although they said they found it, I do not think they recovered the captains body. I find it hard to believe a bit of the cockpit could have drifted that far though. And they made a big thing out of the Captain not being in his seat at the time of the crash.
We never found out what happened to Flying Tiger 739, but two identical planes went down on the same day, departing from the same airport, so maybe like MH17, it just fell from the sky in bits. And a military plane is more likely to have a flag on board.

This report might make more sense

I would think it was old wreckage, any plane crashes on an island that small they should have noticed.
Either way it is not an ATSB responsibility, it is not in our area, so nothing to do with Martin Dolan unless he chooses to go take a look and make sure for himself. I could think of a better place he could look for MH370.
I would not give any credibility to the bit about the Malaysian flag supposedly being on the side of the wreckage, the media seems to have added that.
