Many Filipinos did board and sail on Spanish galleons for 400 years.

I don't think that this piece is quite that old, but there was a Philippine Revolutionary Navy in 1898. Possibly this might/could have belonged to one of its members? Someone else has suggested that this might have been made to be used from horseback for making slashing cuts.
