The real Emperor Qin Shihuang of Vietnam, Emperor Minh Mang existed in 1800. Before him, Kinh people projection is consolidated around Danang. The Mekong Delta region, Nha Trang is a prize to be grabbed by players including Champa, Khmer and Siam (Yes Thailand).
After Minh Mang, Champa was assimilated, large area of Cambodia was annexed, Vietnam decisively driven Thailand out of East Cambodia.
That give Vietnam an impetus and geographical basis to claim Spratly.
And Philippines in 1600s was never a political entity, consisting thousands of independent tribe. Philippines claim of Spratly was the result to Spanish and US imperialism that consolidated these people into a single political entity.
Study more about Vienam hstory.
The Le Dynastry of Vietnam is still existed. The Trinh is warlod controled North Vietnam and Nguyen warlord dominated in South Vietnam. In fact Vietnam is still existed in one country. The Le Dynasty is officially control the both south and north Vietnam. Trinh and Nguyen warlord never claimed that they was the King Emperor for each region of north and south.
Minh Mang has united the country, he gave up the mane of Nguyen warloard and claimed that he is the Emperor of all.
The situation is same in China in time of "Shan Guo" period in history of China in the past
