They are not separating it. It just that Gongguan is the ancient ancestors of Taiwanese Aborigines. Murut is a modern Austronesian group from interior Borneo. 

Murut is included here to make the population distance fits better.

Do you find it strange that a lot of these Philo samples are showing Arab admixture (Yemeni) in these DNA runs?

@rambo

Could it be that these individuals are from families with Chinese ancestry? 

I read there were trade between China and Philippines back to the precolonial period even early as the 7th century and that the kamote, a sweet potato from the Philippines was used as a survival food by the Chinese during the Ming Dynasty which shows there were trading and interactions between the two nations back then?:

BEIJING, China, May 24 (PIA) - Unknown to many, the Philippine kamote, also known as a poor man’s crop, had sustained early Chinese during calamities dating back the Ming dynasty at the turn of the 16th century.
 
Prof. Wu Jiewei, Deputy Dean, School of Foreign Languages and professor of Southeast Asian Cultural Studies Department of Peking University in China, traced the entry of kamote or sweet potatoes to China during the Galleon trade in 1584 from Manila to Acapulco, Mexico.
 
“China could barely afford to buy food during calamities like floods and abnormal weather conditions. But after kamote entered China, the people learned to cultivate the crop and they were able to survive by eating kamote,” he said.

 
“Part of the reason why China’s population is big is due to Kamote.... because early Chinese peoples owe their survival to kamote,” Wu said in jest. The United Nations places China’s current population at 1.4 billion.
 
Wu cited a book written during the Ming Dynasty showing the root crop’s entry to Fujian province in 1584.
 
“The book noted that from 1584 to 1585, the potato seeds were brought from Wenling to Jinjang,” he added.
 
Since then, China moved to cultivating sweet potatoes in large areas as a major food crop.

 
Garbed in Filipino’s traditional wear Barong Tagalog, Wu on Wednesday, May 22 also presented the long tradition of trading partnership between China and the Philippines at the on-going seminar for government information officers and private media practitioners at the Research and Training Institute in Beijing China. 
 
Wu, who speaks Filipino, studied the Philippine language from 1992-1997 courtesy of his Filipino teachers from the University of the Philippines and Ateneo De Manila University who taught in Peking University.
 
Early Chinese writings showed that China began trading in the Philippines as far back as 7th century AD with ancient coins and porcelain as trading goods through the Galleon trade.
 
Chinese traders would barter China wares, iron, lead and sink with Philippine products such as condiments, beeswax, betel nut and pearls.

It appears that the Visayans received more Indian admixture compared to the Luzons.  Visayans received 3.4% Hakkipikki and 5.6% Gujarati while Luzons received 5.0% Gujarati and 2.8% Hakkipikki.  I find this somewhat surprising since the largest Indian population outside Manila is in Isabela Province, Luzon

Well only a bit more. It makes sense though as Visayans are located geographically more southern closer to Indonesia and Malaysia which has a lot of Indian admixture compared to Luzonians who are in the north farther from South Asian influence. 

If there are samples from Mindanao or Sulu archipelago, I believe they might have even more Indian DNA than those of Visayans and Luzonians. 

The Shahr_I_Sokhta_BA1 is also part of Indian admixture in Filos as it is the Caucasoid/West Eurasian (Iranian_Neolithic_Farmer) ancestry of South Asians. So 5% Gujarati in the Luzonian average also means 2.8% AASI (simulated from the Hakkipikki) and 1.6% Shahr_I_Sokhta_BA1 (represents the Iranian Neolithic; the main Western ancestry of South Asians).

Btw, the "Hakkipikki" used here in this run is not really the actual Hakkipikki sample, instead what is shown in these models is the amount of the Ancient Ancestral South Indian (AASI) ancestry, the indigenous Australoid-like portion of Indians and other South Asians, that these Philippine populations are scoring. The reason it is called S_AASI_Sim(Hakkipikki) is because that this South Indian AASI (it is theorized that there are many groups AASI populations in the Indian subcontinent before the arrival of Iranian Farmers and Aryans to the region; that the AASI ancestors of South Indians is different from the AASI ancestors of NW Indians/Pakistanis, etc.) sample is simulated using the Hakkipikki as a based population. There are many simulated AASI samples using different South Asian ethnic groups and castes as their bases. This is because that no actual AASI samples have been founded yet so they are simulated instead in order to estimate the amount of indigenous non-Western ancestry of South Asians.
