Odd handle for a Kampilan?

I'm betting the blade was not forged in the Philippines .
This forging style reminds me of a Sasak-or-Sumatran klewang .

Can someone out there please show me another example of a fullered Kampilan blade with exposed pamor-like grain like this one has ?

The structure of the blade ( so not the shape) looks like the Celebes and Bugi swords.... but thats just a guess.....

All we can do is guess; but I do not believe that blade originated in the Philippines .
