Definately a barong. It has some of the features of an older blade in the handle, with sharply curved beak coming back almost parallel to the grip the crest a little longer and angles away from the handle instead of more perpendicular.
I have a similar blade shape (and it is thinner than my others) I've been told by several when i carried it down in Mindanao that it was from Palawan (island in Southern Philippines)
