    About the Book

    Edit

    The ancient Filipino script, known as Baybayin and commonly referred to as Alibata in the 20th century, presents a facile task for learning and writing. However, comprehensively understanding its origins and historical context demands extensive unraveling and analysis. These intricacies are not the focus of the present work.

    The primary appeal likely lies in the recognition that Filipinos possess an ancient writing system, prompting a desire to acquire proficiency in its usage, without the permanence of irreversible ink. Consequently, this endeavor aims to provide insights into the implementation of Baybayin.

    Through this introductory text, readers are equipped with the necessary skills for proficient reading and writing of the Baybayin script. Furthermore, there is an aspiration to inspire an appreciation for its rich historical background and origins. By delving into its roots, individuals may foster a deeper sense of pride in mastering each character of this venerable Filipino script.

    Allan Camba
    Pangasinan, PHILIPPINES

    Allan Torres Camba is a Filipino-American teacher who enjoys being creative by producing music, short stories, and educational content online. He is the founder of Kultura Academy under the Riverboy Studios Professional and Continuing Education. Born and raised, during his childhood, in a riverside home in Masidem--a small village in Bani, Pangasinan Philippines, Camba grew up with the richness of the Filipino culture in a simple way of living. During the summer, as a child, he enjoyed being at the river, racing tiny sailboats made of used flip-flops, plastic bags, and fishball sticks. For children in the province, fun didn't end with the summer, because during the rainy seasons, they spent countless times catching tadpoles or simply playing in the rain. From his humble beginnings, he went on to finish his bachelor's degree in Interdisciplinary Arts & Sciences at the University of Washington and his master's degree in Anthropology & Archaeology at Harvard University.
