Intersting Batangas (?) sword

Definately not Philippine. Here is a Buddist/Hindu demon for comparison. The Philippines is predominantly either Catholic in the north and Muslim in the south.
The hilt and guard seems newer than the blade so I think it's more for ceremonial or status than for combat.
