I would agree. At first glance it resembles the Arabic version (I have one from my ex-brother-in-law, a Moroccan) but I noticed right off the markings are all wrong & the handle design looks like art styles I've seen from the region (Philippines) on other knives.
Nice collector piece, despite the missing pieces in the handle it looks to be in great shape.
