Spunjer:
Is the blade on this one chisel ground in the usual Visayan fashion?
If so, is this not a Western Visayas (Panay, Negros) sword variant? Do we need to invent a new name for it?
It is uncommon to see this abbreviated kakatua style pommel on a wide-bellied chopper, but I have seen at least one other example of this combination.
Ian.
