THESE TWO I CAN'T HELP WITH I DON'T THINK THEY ARE PHILIPPINE. MOST LIKELY INDONESIAN PERHAPS NIAS OR IN THAT AREA OF SUMATRA. GOOD LUCK IDENTIFING THESE. WELL MADE AND VERY NICE WHATEVER THEY ARE :)

I don't think they are Indonesian either.
They do look a bit like a type of Nias spear, but yet are different.
Maybe the Asian mainland?

On the photo Nias spears collected by Elio Modigliani at the end of the 19th century.
They are now in the ethnographical museum in Florence, Italy.
