BAYBAYIN WRITING MAGANDA FILIPINO Long Sleeve T-Shirt

Baybayin is one of the precolonial writing systems used by early Filipinos. The term “baybayin” comes from the Tagalog root word baybay, which means “to spell.” When the Spaniards arrived in the Philippine archipelago, they observed that most of the natives, not just the elite, could read and write. The script was used not only to record but also to write poetry, incantations, and letters. This shirt says “maganda’” the Filipino word for beautiful.
