Does anyone know how to write the Filipino Script? or atleast know something about it?
if you have a chance..do you want to learn it??..
im kinda jealous to other asian countries who uses their own script... so i studied ours...the alibata(baybayin)... but my mom told me that i'm just wasting my time because im not going to use it anyway... why is that??

and its not wasting your time, its more on
Spending your time learning our culture
thumbs up!
If you are into Philippine anthropology, higher studies or in tourism it is good to learn the Philippine ancient scripts (alibata/baybayin) however for ordinary citizens it is not useful.
In my case since I am into Philippine travel or tourism I have to learn about it just incase if I was asked. I have even downloaded the Alibata Font to my computer which is fun to play around.
I am not sure but some say that the Mangyans of Mindoro Island still uses the Alibata.
Check this Wikipedia article at

After visiting the link that CDO gave, the 1st answer which came to mind was… Using Alibata is like using a typewriter when you can use the keyboard. But it can’t be completely compared to that, the only comparison lies on the effort that you have to extend to be able to write it down. When it comes to the outcome, well, I guess not even my grandma would understand it. Filipinos don’t speak pure Tagalog anymore. For instance, why do we say "Hi" when we can say "Kamusta?", why do we say "Hello?" when answering the phone?
But looking at it, it is really an art form. I guess the painters would have more use to it than writers.
yes, i’d want to learn it. just for the sake of knowing a little something more about it. its not necessarily a waste of time if you dont plan to make it your life’s work. it can just be a hobby anyway. yeah, i agree we should be proud of it but it would be hard to integrate it with our culture now.
I used to teach high school Philippine literature and familiarizing with Alibata is one of the topics. It’s great that you are interested in using Alibata. Unfortunately, no one uses Alibata except maybe scholars of the Filipino language. But, you can learn it just for the fun of it. Enjoy!
