Talibong – The “Talibon” or “Talibong” sword’s exaggerated belly indicates its uniqueness. This sword was seen in Southern Luzon, but mostly in the Visayan region of the Philippines during the later part of the Spanish era into the early American regime. The Talibong was used mostly for combat purposes but occasionally doubled as a tool when needed for hunting and cutting up meat. This sword’s shape can cut through grass easily while hunting animals then slaughtering the game when caught. The Talibong, in well trained hands is very formidable. The Talibong is perfectly engineered for battle purposes to make the tactical thrusting to slashing easy to handle. The Talibong is one of the major bladed weapons used in the Pekiti Tirsia Kali fighting system
