That's a really interesting blade sir.
I'm wondering if it's possible that this is a hybrid...blade from somewhere else (probably South PH or even beyond) then combined with a Panay or Negros hilt. The habaki might have helped connect the hilt to the blade.
Or it may just be an odd-edged Panay or Negros ensemble.
