Filipino swords and axes in the 13th Century? - Page 2

Hello all, I was wondering if you might know what swords and axes were used by Filipino wars during the 13th century, contemporary with the Song Dynasty?

I know the keris goes back quite a long way in Indonesia, so the kris I was thinking might be present in the PI at this time, and the kampilan was around before the Spanish arrived, so I was thinking it might be too.

Need to know for a project I'm working on.

Also, were there any Muslim convert tribes in the Philippines at this time?
