filipinos written 1600s baybayin or alibata

Alibata or Baybayin

What is Alibata really all about? It is the new keyword being used for the second checkpoint of the Bayanihan SEO competition. The real meaning of Alibata is:

Baybayin or Alibata (known in Unicode as the Tagalog script) is a pre-Hispanic Philippine writing system that originated from the Javanese script Old Kawi. The writing system is a member of the Brahmic family (and an offshoot of the Vatteluttu alphabet) and is believed to be in use as early as the 14th century. It continued to be in use during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines up until the late 19th Century. The term baybayin literally means spelling. Closely related scripts are Hanunóo, Buhid, and Tagbanwa.

I adopted the word Alibata as the main title of this blog because I am a Filipino and its symbolizes the old Filipino writing. We are now in the modern world so for me it now means as blogging or writing with the use of computer by a Filipino.

my new creations,about me and lovebird

                

I’m really  fashionited about the  bird I love to see all kinds  of  bird,  that’s why I’m trying  to make  birds  out  of  clay, behind  my  picture   that’s a lovebird parrot they  look so refreshing, colorful, I just wish I could touch it, anyway that’s fine  when I was little I love  making  traps out  of white glue from the Jackfruit mean (nangka) in visayan word.to catch the  bird and  I play with it or feed,. i was born in the middle of the  forest  before my dad (papa) built a house out of  bamboo, It was so great peaceful and free.

 I’m from Philippines; I know 4 languages 1.visayan 2. Talaandig

3. Tagalog and 4. English. I’m proud were I was born and learn many languages. I grow up in a small village of songco, it was so nice there more on trees and lots of nice people leave there.

Now I’m a NEW MOM, my  son his named is  Gabriel, my husband and a partner Corey, being new mom and a wife  is not easy for me especially my  son has  A HEART DEFECT, he  got  TOF (tetralogy of  fallot ) he  just done  his  two surgery, hopefully no more surgery for him. It was so exhausted for us, and I’m also the oldest of 13 siblings. I knew they need my help like paying fees at school, clothes, especially food it’s so hard for them because my mom not working and my dad only work at the farm and that is not enough, that’s why they are always hungry, and I’m trying to help. But ofcors  I had new family now  and my first priority and they  understand that, while  watching my son at home, I’m making jewelry out of clay, paper beads, twine shell, can tabs, feathers, cards and more that’s interest me.

MY Jewelry is came from bottom of my  heart and mind to visualize things how to make it  beautiful, most of it is one of a kind handmade. And in a reasonable price of how many hours I spend. Hoping to sale and I can help my brothers and sisters and also myself and family. Also to show my talent and fashion  about jewelry, and recycling things to help our  nature stay fresh and clean without adding our trash.
Here are some example of my creations.;
