Visayan Sword, need help in ID’ing.

The chisel grind brings me back to Visayan and the octagonal ferrule is also consistent with Visayan. I did receive an email from a Filipino friend who identified this knife as coming from Negros Oriental. The "extravagant" figural hilt is apparently common to modern swords from that area.

Thanks Ian.
I was adviced with the same information. We probably share the same source.
