One on the extreme right looks like a glock field knife. Not sure about the one on the extreme left.
Lock, Stock and Barrel.

It seems to be a bowie knife and they are mostly seen in the knife sheath and used by defence and commando...
Keep knives in your pocket and pray that you will never need it

A BOLO is a large cutting tool of Filipino origin similar to the machete. It is used particularly in the Philippines, the jungles of Indonesia, and in the sugar fields of Cuba. The primary use for the BOLO is clearing vegetation & in agricultural work. The BOLO is also used in Filipino martial arts as part of training.

Bolo, Parang & Dao come with slightly different profile - all locally influenced....

I don't know about the knives, but this thread made me think of 2 things-
1) I am hungry for a fresh coconut right now.
2) If my squadron looked like that during an inspection I'd be typing this standing up because my @$$ would still be growing back from the chewing I got from the Colonel for looking like that (all the guys are holding their guns differently- look at where the muzzles point, thigh holsters seem to be different positions as well, "at attention" posture could use some work too, my ears start ringing just thinking about it!) but I am thinking this is a parade type of picture. If this is right before or after some actual action where practicality trumps parade ground cosmetics then I'd understand completely but funny those things you notice sometimes.
