Visayan, or Indo???

My first guess is a Visayan Panabas inspired by the Moro version.
But it could of course also be a captured Visayan blade remounted as a Panabas?
I don't think it looks at all like any of the Indonesian stick sword variations.

Look forward to comments from those with more knowledge than me of Visayan and Moro swords.

I will recieve it within a week or so in case additional close ups are needed to evaluate what it is.
