Wayne, I think that kino is showing us a ginunting-like sword with a long "swedge" along the back edge that may or may not be sharpened. The primary cutting edge is not always curved in my experience.

It looks closer to the traditional ginunting of Panay, which is not curved. In any case, within the Philippines alone, there are many blades that have similar profile like "sinampalok" of Tagalog and Bikol regions, "binulang/tinari" of eastern Visayas and Caraga, and so forth.
