Newly bought Bolo.

Hiya everyone. Seeing all the good blades on this site originating in the Philippines filled me with the desire to have at least one of these for myself.
Yesterday I was able to buy this one...... Is it a Philippine Bolo, or something else. Still in "as bought" condition, and no indication as to whether it has a mono-steel or laminated blade.
The blade is about 7 mill thick at the base, and there is an iron pin or rivet through the bulge of the black horn grip.
