Keyser, thanks for briging this up. If you notice, my watermark in my Jose Santiago Tan photos are my initials in Alibata as introduced to me by Flexis friend Dagat.
Good to hear another Pinoy interested in our ancient alphabets
Likewise MJ!
it's good that other Pinoys are interested in our long-forgotten writing system.
While I was studying how to read and write the Thai scripts, my wife once asked me if I could also teach her Filipino writing, I proudly replied that we use the English alphabets. She then gave me a puzzled look and replied "it's farang writing, not yours!" It was like a knock on the head, she was right, and here I am trying to learn yet another foreign writing system. So that got me really curious. Then by coincidence, being an avid contact sports enthusiast that I am, I saw Brandon Vera on cable tv, a popular MMA fighter proudly waving a Philippine flag with stange symbols tattooed on his back, when interviewed he said that the symbols on his back were not Thai buddhist mantra like Angelina Jolie's, but is a prayer written in ancient Filipino scripts - the Alibata! That got me really excited.
