Southern Indian swords and The Moro Kris is there a Connection?

I have not found anything to help with your question. I did find this plate in The Philippine Islands

Its interesting to me because the dress sword of the sultan here looks to have an indonesian flavor. Indian influence was present in Indonesia and could have come to the Philippines through there

I believe Lapu-Lapu (Kaliph Pulaka) was reported to use a Kampilan.
