I found this photo described as a dated (19th century) Northern Luzon Katipunan knife ( https://www.pinterest.com/pin/332703491193420071/).  The scabbard is almost identical to the one in the picture I posted above. Could the one above be from the period of the 1st Philippine Republic?

 i don't remember having a date on that particular piece. i think whoever posted that picture is trying to say this particular dagger was made during the 19th century.
the whitish metal decorating the handle is made out of aluminum.
