Hi all 
 
Thanks for all the comments. I had an idea that it was Visayan but Filipino and Southeast Asian items are out of my full range of knowledge.  The dimensions are as follows: 
 
11" overall 6" blade 2.5" width of blade. 
 
Looks very much like a Filipino insipired navaja to me...which would make sense considering the historical record.
