Hi Mike:
Definitely from the Philippines. I would suggest that it is most likely Ilocano from northern Luzon. The narrow "waist" to the hilt just below the pommel seems to be fairly typical of Ilocano work. The blade shape, with a slight flaring in width next to the hilt, is also an Ilocano feature but seen as well on some other blades from Luzon. Full tang hilt indicates Luzon too. Ian.
