Philippine Sceptre? Mace?

There are Moro, even Maranao, okir motifs. I have seen every chased motif on this scepter also on other Moro pieces, especially bladed weaponry.

I vote Moro.

The other element that made me think Philippines is the swollen ribbing on the grip which reminded me of some kris I've seen - none in my collection unfortunately!

But here are a couple of pics lifted off the internet (not items for sale of course).
