Agree with you that it is from Luzon, but it will be difficult to pinpoint down the exact origin IMHO. Blade shape is reminiscent of Bicol blades.

See for example this Minasbad from my collection.

Thanks Detlef! I hope another forumite posts a similar blade.

Agree, it appears to be a minasbad. But I'm not sure if it's from Camarines Sur. The hilt looks similar to what I've seen from Albay, or probably another Bicol province.
