My gunong collection and some thoughts

I recall that the US Army Occupation prohibited the Kris and Barongs from every day sash carry after losing a few troopers, but not the smaller (and just as deadly) gunongs. Many Moro sided with the US, tho a lot didn't. Bit like now, in Afghanistan, hard to tell who is on your side, or not.

Hello Wayne,

I think that I've read or heard the same, gunong become popular when long blades get prohibited.
