Lope k santos abakada4/26/2023 In baybayin, which is a syllabic writing system, each character is already a syllable. Baybayan characters are not the same as our Abakada alphabet where each letter is a basic sound or phoneme, either a vowel or a consonant. This would connote that the iskolars ng bayan are for HIRE upon their graduation, when they are suppose to prioritize service to the nation. The baybayin characters on the Sablay worn by the graduates of the UP read as “upa”. Yet UP not only bastardizes this centuries old legacy of our forefathers, but also its graduates since 1990. The University of the Philippines (UP), the country’s premier institution for learning, owes it to the Filipino people who support UP with their taxes, to revere the Baybayin scripts. The ability to read and write is the mark of any civilization and, according to many early Spanish accounts, the Tagalogs had already been writing with the Baybayin for at least a century before the Spaniards came.
