I think the closest would be ginunting. Though first time seeing something like that. Most likely from Panay, but not sure which particular province, my bet would either be Iloilo or Antique.

Anyway, here's my recently made ginunting from Cabatuan, Iloilo.

The blade appears to be flat on one side, and convex on the other, similar to a mandau. Is this at all common in this type of blade, or in blades from this area?
