Badlit for breakfast! Been practicing Badlit or Suwat Binisaya lately. A cousin to Baybayin, Badlit was used to write in Bisaya languages. They're both abugidas, not alphabets, like our neighbors - Khmer (Cambodia), Jawi (Brunei & Malaysia), Lao (Laos), etc...

I often think about the Filipino Sign Language act, & the community leaders behind it, and how to this day they have to remain vigilant on its implementation. Then there are the environmental laws (FRB, NLUA, AMMB) that have yet to pass… very difficult indeed. substack.com/home/post/p-...
