Talibong of unknown origin

I recently acquired this not so old talibong which has the following features: The blade is chisel grind for right hand, the guard is made of wood, the hilt seems to be carved from carabao horn with a bakunawa profile, it is apparently painted green , and the scabbard is damaged on the top part.
The seller told me that he bought it from Cebu though I believe that this blade is not from that area. The blade profile is similar to my modern talibong from Aklan. However, I cannot be sure about the place of origin of this piece.
