I don't wanna post her photo for privacy concerns, but she gets mistaken for mexican many times in America, and i'm assuming it's because of that Punjabi in her... she also told me many times how many of her relatives a few generations back looked very Indian-influenced... my mom's brother on the other hand got mistaken for full Indian many times in America too especially cos of his deep set eyes with darkened rings around it and brown skin tone... but my mom does seem to have some ANI/Northern-Indian influence at least to me

even trace iberian genes in pinoys tend to show up in phenotype more so during middle-age and up i think from what i've seen

@cheesefries 

Oh I see. Still thanks anyway!

Do you think your Punjabi comes from recent immigrants or during the era of Indianized Kingdoms like the Cebu, Butuan and Sanmalan Rajahnates?

That's what I was wondering!

You tell me.. On Wikipedia it mentions Punjabis in the Philippines which seems to suggest recent Punjabi ancestry Indian Filipino - Wikipedia

On my Vahaduo G25 results below this seems to show up as Balochi (still don't have my mother's Vahaduo results yet)... so maybe the Indian admixture from the ancient Indianized Kingdoms is part of the Dusun/Malay category here no?:
