Yup, there have been counter-arguments. Another thing to consider is this. Blade evolution occurs over time. The kampilan and kris back then may not necessarily be the 18th or 19th century weapons we know of. In fact, the kampilan supposedly used against Lapu-Lapu may not even fit of our idea of a kampilan today.
In the course of 19th-21st century, many antique blades have evolved and have either similar or thoroughly different versions today. Suffice to say, until more archaeological evidence is found, we can only theorize regarding this topic.
