Baybayin also incorrectly known as Alibata is a pre-Spanish Filipino writing system from the islands known as the “Philippines”. Baybayin comes from the word “baybay”, which literally means “spell”. Baybayin is an abugida writing system consisting of 14 consonants and 3 vowels. Each of the 14 consonants ends with the vowel “A”. For example, the letter B would be BA. Hash marks (Kudlits) above or below the character change the vowel sound of the character. The Thai, Balinese, and Sanskrit scripts also have similar characteristics. My art is influenced by brush styles, Asian writing systems, abstract painting and graffiti. My tag is my last name in Baybayin - Ka-Bu-Wa
