I think I've seen a photo, maybe from Batangas?, of someone wearing a something like this with the "belt" diagonally across the chest, from one shoulder to the opposite hip, like a messenger bag. I can't find it right now but I think he was pictured with a pile of coconuts. This might explain the way the belt goes diagonally across the sheath.

I'll see if I can find it.

Thanks,
