So this is a lighting effect? W W! Ok, well, that changes some things aboiut the blade then.

Regarding Luzon blades, especially Tagalog and Ilocano, they will not be a beefy as Moro. The fighting styles were different. In the north, Luzon, they were more influenced by Spanish espada y daga and in this one uses a long sword and a dagger. The bolos were more used like this than for chopping like the Moro barung or kampilan, or even the talibon. They were effective, but in different ways.
