Here is a blowgun from the Philippines. It is made of wood. The rattan binding that holds the spearhead and sight in place has worn off and has been replaced by nylon string. I am unsure of its exact origin in the Philippines, but suspect that it comes from one of the Negrito tribes (possibly the Agta/Aeta of Luzon) or the Ilongot (of Northeastern Luzon).
