Philippines 1st Republic dagger: Anybody from here scoop this dagger up?

Here are some other pictures of the triangle with sun and sun face, and stars. The other picture is an engraved 1st Republic flag below the triangle. At the bottom tip of the scabbard is a pierced silver chape: front top is a flower and the back top is a star.

If anyone knows the significance of these on the chape, please let me know.

I agree with you Dimasalang, it is perhaps a general grade dagger with all of that floral engraving in curls and circles.
