does anyone know if there is a Baybayin Expo in the Philippines? or any type of Baybayin gathering that showcases Baybayin works from everyone who practice baybayin. talking about baybayin past, present and future. if there is please share. I would love to participate. if there isnt. I think we should start thinking about it and start one. I think it would be amazing to experience the current state of baybayin from every corner of the world gathered in one place.

Kumusta po — Ako po si David Oro (u/studiosarisari), a Filipino-Canadian Artist, UI/UX and Type designer, Manila-born and now based in Winnipeg. For about ten years I’ve practiced Baybayin every day, and I finally turned that practice into something I can share: Baybayin Nating Lahat — a free, browser-based space for writing and learning the script.

It’s built around one idea older than any of us: kung ano ang bigkas, siyang baybay — you spell it the way you say it. You type a word, watch it become Baybayin, and then trace or write it yourself with a brush that responds to pressure. No download, no account, no ads. I made it as cultural transmission, not a product.

It’s a living work in progress, and I’d genuinely value this community’s eyes and feedback on it — corrections, questions, what feels right and what doesn’t. There’s a small subreddit at r/BaybayinNatingLahat where I post a daily word to practice.

Salamat for reading.

Isang maliit na ambag para sa kultura,
sa ISIP, sa SALITA, at sa SULAT.
