Thanks Justin.

Most of the "Negrito" bolos seem to come from the area to the north of Manila, in the vicinity of the old US bases (Clarke AFB and Subic Bay Naval Base), or from Baguio to the north of there, or from the Ilocos provinces even further to the north. The V-grind to the edge would be consistent with those areas also.

Based on its appearance, I'm more inclined to think my knife is from Central or Northern Luzon than from a Moro area.
