Moro Warrior Wearing Plated Mail Armour and Holding a Barong

Although the source for this image claims Spanish influence on the armour, to me it is much closer to the Indo-Persian zirah baktar plated mail armour.

Yeah that sounds like a very Western-centric idea, plate and mail is a much more eastern design.
