Thanks for the information!!
Not sure that this hole would be for a lanyard. That's not a Filipino thing.

Agree with Xasterix that this is a Tagalog blade.

Is there merit in the hole being used for wrist wrapping/cord, like some sort of the Munsala/Mansala type cloth specific to the region... seems like a practical thing to have if one was travelling throughout the islands and coastal regions.
