What’s in Ka?

Baybayin is the ancient precolonial script of the Philippines. It is no longer used today by the majority. The characters vary depending on what you add to the character. There is one character for da/ra. Out of the 17 main characters, I like writing ka the most.

The ka I am using is a Bisaya Hervàs font. It serves as a signature on pictures of older posts.

Ka in many Filipino words often implies connection like in kapatid (sibling), kaanak (relative), kaibigan (friend), kasintahan (boyfriend/girlfriend), kapwa (fellow), and even kaaway (enemy). Others also use ka as a symbol of the Filipino. Kalayaaan (freedom), kasaganaan (abundance), kasiyahan (joy), kaginhawaan (prosperity), kaunlaran (development), and kapayapaan (peace) are the aspirations of the nation.
