I believe that this is Ifugao as your direct collection provenance suggests. I have seen these single-edged variations carried in a similar open-faced scabbard and termed pinahig and the solid handle and lack of puhog are typical in my experience, though I have seen a few examples with the hollow socket handle and puhog that are more typical for the hinalung. Thank you for your helpful diagram of the features!
