Guro/Sifu John,

There is a posibility, yes Borneo is is close to this Island and This island Mindoro is the original place where the Chinese mention it the islan of of Mai (meaning island of Gold) in chinese, and Mindoro is the same meaning in Spanish words. Mina de Oro (Mindoro) for short. Chinese and Silat influences notably on the name of the (Harimaw) is Tiger also in Silat from Indonesia or Borneo, and Mao is Tiger also in Fukien language in Chinese, so it's evidently on the name. So in the Tagalog translation "Hari-means King and Mao is Chinese word for Tiger, put them togetehr Hari-Mao (Harimaw).

Thank you for taking the time your post.

Guro/Sifu John,

Thank you for the input, I have heard a lot similar word from a friends. I am platter, that the similarity and the chance of my art is adapted by he native from the Chinese or Indonesian. Because the Mangyan is one of the oldest Native of the Philippines and they are peace loving tribes. Thank you,
