THIS DOES LOOK LIKE THE EXCELLENT WORK DONE ON THE BOLOS FROM LUZON. BUT THE BLADE DOES NOT FIT WITH WHAT I USUALLY REFER TO AS A BOLO, PERHAPS ONE WITH MORE KNOWLEGE OF PHILIPPINE WEAPONS CAN SUPPLY THE CORRECT NAME FOR THIS PARTICULAR FORM.
THE CLOSEST RESEMBLENCE TO YOUR BLADE I FOUND WAS SIMPLY IDENTIFIED AS LUMAD SWORD. THE SECOND PICTURE IS OF A ITAK SWORD 21.75IN. LONG, BUT THE BLADE IS DIFFERENT FROM YOUR ITEM.
