Dagger ID Needed

Nice looking knife,
All guess work but I would say distinctly Philippine by form, most possibly made by one one the many Chinese traders in the regions during the Spanish occupation of the late 1800s as the guard does has a Chinese feel too it (see some of Josh's old blades too)....though I can't quite pick it, I have seen that guard somewhere before.... the blade most likely a reprofiled Spanish court sword.
I would be interested to know what you gleam from handling it when it arrives.
