Moro Spear???..or not?? Opinions sought

Here is a nice Filipino spear I recently picked up. It is just over 7ft., though my pics concentrate on the spearhead.

At first glance it seems to say Moro "budiak", and features a nice, clear lamination pattern, but there are some features to the bolster and ferrule that are making me second guess its Moro origin. Didn't the Bogobo and T'boli use similar types??

Comments, opinions, and info welcomed.

Thanks!
