Great article and info Ian.
I have been wondering more about this piece here since the leather work on the sheath looks more Tagalog than anything else, as well as the horn carving. The blade is 2 feet long and wavy, not quite like that of Ilokano daggers.
Here is a link to my original post:

What do you think? Could my piece be a "Bartolome"?
