Hi WW,

Nice collection of Filipino knives.

The top one, as you say, is a plamingko from the Visayas.

The middle one is from Luzon, and that distinctive scabbard comes from a specific location which I am struggling to recall. Xasterix may be able to help. The blade shape resembles a katana from Central Luzon.

The last one, which you didn't describe, is a recognized pattern from the town of Apalit in the Central Luzon province of Pampanga. It's name has not been determined here, but several examples have been discussed on the Forum.
