One guy mentioned it might be tonfa, but she could combined her technique learning Escrima too, the art of phillipine stick fighting... Hmm, maybe perhaps?

The moment Spain declared the Philippines as part of its empire, Southeast Asia was thrust into an age of turmoil. The westerners introduced their new culture without giving any regard to the indigenous culture or people. The foreigners stayed near the shoreline at first, but it was only a matter of time before their influence reached all the way to the mountains.
As if they felt the need to hide from the encroaching footsteps of the foreigners, a tribe of people secluded themselves in a small village nestled deep within the mountain valleys. The tribe honored the Wind Deity and lived as one with nature.
Talim was born during this era into a family of shamans. She was raised as the Last Priestess of the Wind during a time when western influences grew stronger, and faith in the Wind Deity gradually waned. --from Talim's history from SC2
I suppose since they went out of their way to include that into her origins, you could say that.
Though her weapons and style seem more like tonfa, which are considered Okinawan.

Gee and she was the first character I picked when I started playing this game.
If that's the case, it's about time! *lol*

well "talim" is tagalog (filipino) for "sharp," so that was my first indication that she was filipina.
but if we're going by fighting styles, cervantes' dual sword technique most closely resembles arnis escrima, the filipino stick based fighting form.
evil will always triumph. because good is dumb.

The clothes definitely don't seem the type to be worn by a Filipina during that time. Imagine what the friars would say at the sight of her...
