And yes, it would be most interesting to know if there antique weapons from the Mangyan tribes. You are very close, wouldn't it be something for you to look for and do some research?

I wish I could, Detlef, but that particular region (which also includes another blade-rich area, Palawan) is out of my scope at the moment (I live in Manila). Even the usual blade surveyors have yet to gain a foothold there. I'm betting that there are some nice blade samples there that haven't yet been proliferated on social media, just like how some Northern Luzon blades have stayed out of the radar. Will let you know if a piece or two happens to...stray across my path!
