It is a hybrid of Spanish sword fighting and Filipeno techniques. The Spanish ruled the Phillipines for centuries and many of their military techniques were taugh to the local populace. All the Philipinos really had to fend themselves with against invaders were canes. Through hard work and and trial and error they developed a way of fighting with sticks that could repel invaders in hand to hand combat. They do a lot of patterns, strikes, locks and simple self defense. Training with sticks is helpful because your mind adapts to the speed after a bit. That way when blows come at you - be they from a hand or a stick - they don't seem so fast and your mind is better prepared to react to them in quicker. Good sytem. Try it out and see if it works for you.
