Pamako - agimat or orasyon (magical prayer) that supposedly nail down entities to keep them from moving[15]
Tagabulag - agimat that supposedly turns the wearer invisible against their enemy[14] or blind them[15]
Tagaliwas - agimat that can supposedly deflect bullets[15]
What is going on here, English translation would be very informative.

Pamako could mean nail when the language is Tagalog, but I doubt it's Tagalog language.
Sorry, I still strongly doubt that there was an amulet inlay, I have seen several inlays in Moro wooden pommels like shown in up.
Amulets (anting anting) are most of the time coins or fabric. Do a little bit search at this place and you will find several examples.
Here is a restoration with MOP but I guess that there was once a coin.
