ALIBATA IS THE ANCIENT SCRIPT OF ALL FILIPINOS FORMS OF SCRIPTS ! SINO ANG NAGBURA? FRIARS?

THE COMEBACK OF THE LEGENDARY ANCIENT WRITING SYSTEM CALLED ALIBATA!

Alifbata o Alibata is the father/mother of all Ancient Filipinos writing systems/scripts.

The use of the Baybayin was widespread during the 15th century. By the end of 17th century, its use was almost non-existent. By the 18th century, it was extinct. The inability of the ancient script to record the new sounds introduced by the Spaniards, the rapid acquisition of literacy in the Latin script with its concomitant social and material benefits, and the disruption of traditional family activities were the main culprits for the loss of the Tagalog script.
[4] Buhid, Hanunóo, and Tagbanwa are the only surviving Philippine scripts, however its use are confined to writing poems and other literary pursuits among its native speakers.[5] Computer fonts for these three living scripts are available for IBM and Macintosh platforms, and come into two styles based on actual historical and stylistic samples. PostScript and TrueType fonts as well a concise manual that gives a background of these ancient scripts and a short tutorial on how to write with them are included in each package.

The University of Santo Tomas Archives in Manila is one of the largest archives in the Philippines, and currently possesses the most extant collections of ancient baybayin scripts in the world.
