not all small knives are called plamenko; just a particular profile. plamenkos has a bad reputation, as these are the go to knives of the baddies. other ilonggo short knives are the lanseta and the kortapluma. incidentally, in Cebu, their version of what they call palmenko, or plaminko, has more of a bowie knife profile.
you are right about the binangon; in that basically a larger, machete type or short sword
