Default Interesting Bolo

Here is a small but interesting bolo that I acquired lately. It has a 13-1/4 inch V ground laminated blade that is 5/16 inch thick at the hilt and 1-1/4 inches at its widest point. It also has a 6 inch false edge. The hilt is made of wood and has a few cracks due to shrinkage. This bolo was supposedly brought back after the Spanish American War. My main question is where in the Philippines is it from? With the v ground blade I would say Luzon but the blade tang does not extend through the hilt the way most Luzon edged weapons do. Any help offered would be greatly appreciated.
