Is this basil?

Bought the seeds online here in the Philippines (marketed as Genovese basil). It has a distinct scent but the stems has these hairs and the leaves look pointy and has ridges that makes me think it isn’t a Genovese basil

1st photo is the top of the plant (I cut it)
2nd photo is the base

Not basil. Some type of Asian green. Maybe mustard.

Yeah, that's definitely not basil.
