Obviously with no clear cut history and research, a lot of Filipinos will be quick to tell their own made up stories/versions on how certain weapons came about(I see this a lot now in FMA).

Actually, one of the main reason why i got into this field. I just didn't quite understand why an FMA instructor would do a demo using a moro kris... technically, one could use the kris, but you could also use a dha or a katana for that matter. Majority of FMA styles are visayan, moros practice variants of silat. They're about as similar as kung fu and western boxing....
Visayan weapons are much harder to study due to its scarcity, i reckon. Rare, those buggers
