Mindanao people have some similarities with mexicans.
Some of them look native american sometimes.
This is my first opinion of them.

Why luzonian woman on the picture above wears traditional chinese dress? Do they have common traditions like taiwanese?

Luzonians are mixed with chinese...many chinese men took austronesian & negrito wives in Luzon back in the day

Mindanao people generally don't look native American....the original people of Mindanao called the lumads are closely related to the austronesian of Luzon.
Hence why those certain Mindanao look native American because they are proto-mongoloid like Taiwanese aboriginals

Those mindanaon who originated from mainland SEA look like this

Btw people of nueva Ecija looks much more mongoloud then the surrounding areas of Luzon...

It seems like known rice growing areas in the Philippines is origin point of the most mongoloid phenotypes in the country...most likely the most recent detuero Malay types transitioned to farmer rural type people during colonial times
