Coincidentally I just received this similar bolo - there are some differences of course but they appear to belong to the same “family”. The end of the sheath is open. The notorious “katana” of central Luzon perhaps?
TL 54cm
Blade length 41cm
Width 5cm
This blade is, I'm guessing, from Ilocos, the blade profile is mostly straight with minimal curves, it's an all-rounder blade which they call nowadays as "para gaw-at."
