BAYBAYIN : TUKLASIN

Baybayin: [noun] One of the Philippines' ancient writing system for the tagalog dialect.
Tuklasin: [verb] to explore.

Since starting my MA journey, I have dedicated myself to a passion project advocating for Baybayin, the Philippines' ancient writing system. I am now exploring digital design and typography that celebrate and revive this historic script, aiming to educate fellow Filipinos on the importance of learning to read and write Baybayin. 

My work blends traditional and contemporary elements, creating unique pieces that not only bridge the past and the present, but also aim to educate the Filipino people on how to read and write using Baybayin. Join me on my journey as I champion my Filipino culture and heritage through design!
