I have seen Phillipino mail and plate armour in Museums and books. It looks strikingly like Iranian and Indian mail and plate armours, which suggests to me that they might have copied armour sold to them by Iranian or Indian merchants. I have also read however that Phillipino mail is butted not rivetted, which would greatly reduce it's effectiveness.
