Hello Dave,

the guard and blade look like a gunong from Mindinao, Philippines

The blade doesn't come close to any Moro gunong (or punal) - especially the narrow waist is more like a very roughly forged spear head.
Only the guard reminds of a gunong; however, it doesn't show any features that are positively Moro and could basically come from anywhere throughout the SEA archipelago (especially given its apparently post-WW2 origin).
Regards,
Kai
