The blade looks very Philippines, and not Chinese at all. The hilt looks Chinese to me.
Here is a photo of a sword I thought looked quite Chinese. The grip has a similar shape to yours (though the guard differs). It came with a bunch of Indonesian blades, and might be Indonesian like its box-mates.
