hi vandoo!
below are three pics of common phil. utility curvy blades. the one photographed by itself is the rice stalk cutter variety, and in the visayas it's called a garab. in luzon it's called a karit.
the handle of garabs would normally be the plain vanilla type, as shown.
the pic of of the blade on the waist of a person is called a sanggot (pronounced sung-GOHT). it's used by palm wine farmers (and said wine is locally called tuba).
the last blade, the one with the red-shirted farmer, is a visayan utility bolo called a lagaraw (pronounced log-a-RAO, and the last syllable rhymes with cow).
the hilt on that one would be the typical scroll-looking-pommeled visayan binangon.
your blade looks more like a garab/ karit, or a sanggot, as we can see.
hope this helps.
