batara, i don't believe visayans from the lowlands, or in the case of the sword, ilonggo men wear patadyongs (malongs) back in the days. women did. pictured below is a rattan belt that goes around the waist where if you notice ilonggo scabbards has a leather wrapped around the throat and the out facing side has a small flap that clips on these belts. we were more en vogue with the spaniards back then, lol.
