In today's mellow episode of Translation Tuesday, I discuss the differences between traditional and modern Baybayin, and reasons why some prefer others. The Bathala Project www.TheBathalaProject.com

Baybayin.combook Just received a sample copy of my Baybayin manual. Baybayin (incorrectly known as Alibata) is a pre-Filipino writing system from the islands known as the "Philippines".

Download the Baybayin Character Chart here: www.thebathalaproject.com In today's Translation Tuesday episode, I translate the name "Aimee" (Amy), and discuss a word or two about English-to-Baybayin phonetic estimations. There are some important details I forgot to mention in the video, so be sure to read the full post here: tinyurl.com The Bathala Project -www.TheBathalaProject.com

Ginawa ko ito para sa lahat ng mga Pilipino at para sa Inang Bayan. Mabuhay ang Pilipino! Para sa mga nakakabasa ng baybayin/alibata, lubha po akong humihingi ng paumanhin sa pagbabaybay ko sa panagalan ni Ninoy Aquino; ito ay dapat "Benigno SERVILLANO Aquino" sa halip ng "Simeon". (I made this for all Filipinos and the Motherland. Long Live the Motherland! For those who can read baybayin/alibata, I sincerely apologise for having misspelled Ninoy Aquino's name; it should be "Benigno SERVILLANO Aquino" instead of "Simeon".

The homie Penguin, sent me a deck to paint up for him. It was my first time painting on a skateboard deck, and it was alot of fun! Shoutout to all the kids that put up how-to videos onto youtube as to how to paint on a deck! When I first started stylizing Baybayin, the first thing I could think of was to proliferate the characters into graffiti-like pieces and hand styles. I would do them on hats and give them to friends. It's been a while since I did a full graffiti-style Baybayin piece, and I thought the deck's shape allotted the best space to do it. Pretty simple gradient fill in, yellow outline, no crazy techs used. Chunky old school steez... Written is "Pengwen", the closest phonetic translation to "Penguin" I could think of without getting too complicated. It's not customary (nor looked kindly upon) to translate English words into Baybayin characters, but f*ck it, I'm claiming poetic license for this one!
