Hello Ariel,
That's an interesting piece - good grab!
Of course, the hilt is upside down and I guess this is a later replacement which doesn't seem to be from the southern Philippines. I'm not sure that the blade is Moro either - the base features would be exceptionally simple for a Moro kris. If I had to guess, I'd be tempted to consider a Lumad origin.
Please polish and etch the blade when you receive it and posts pics - that may help to get a better perspective on this piece!
Regards,
Kai
