 Sometimes its hard to tell or analyze without clear or closeup pictures. (Got me looking at it again.) From some philippine  swords I have seen in the internet, few do have white weathered bleached wood with patina or driftwood looking hilts or scabbards. Thanks Battara and everyone for their inputs...Oldscldude
