According to then vice chancellor for community affairs Cynthia Grace Gregorio, the policy also promotes lessening air pollution by creating biking lanes on

UP alumnus and Supreme Court spokesman Atty. Theodore Te criticized the logo and remarked that "There is a reason why there is an Oblation in every UP campus. And so many clenched fists too. That is the spirit behind the Oblation: service and sacrifice;

As part of
10250-486: The most likely reason why no pre-Hispanic documents survived is because they wrote on perishable materials such as leaves and bamboo. There are also no reports of Tagalog written scriptures, as the Filipinos kept their theological knowledge in oral form while using the Baybayin for secular purposes and talismans. The scholar Isaac Donoso claims that the documents written in the native language and in native scripts played

Hector Santos has suggested although that Spanish friars may have occasionally burned short documents such as incantations, curses and spells (deemed evil by the church) but rejected the idea that there was any systematic destruction of pre-Hispanic manuscripts. Morrow also notes that there are no recorded instances of pre-Hispanic Filipinos writing on scrolls, and that

In 1703, baybayin

12000-641: The script was derived from the Arabic script , hence the name. Most modern scholars reject the use of the word alibata as incorrect. The origins of baybayin are disputed and multiple theories exist as to its origin. Historically Southeast Asia was under the influence of Ancient India , where numerous Indianized principalities and empires flourished for several centuries in Thailand , Indonesia , Malaysia , Singapore , Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam . The influence of Indian culture into these areas

13375-703: The use of our [Latin] writing". The ambiguity of vowels i/e and o/u, the lack of syllable-final consonants and of letters for some Spanish sounds may also have contributed to the decline of baybayin. The rarity of pre-Hispanic baybayin texts has led to a common misconception that fanatical Spanish priests must have destroyed the majority native documents. Anthropologist and historian H. Otley Beyer wrote in The Philippines before Magellan (1921) that, "one Spanish priest in Southern Luzon boasted of having destroyed more than three hundred scrolls written in
13500-487: The women much more than the men, which they write and read more readily than the latter." Francisco de Santa Inés explained in 1676 why writing baybayin was more common among women, as "they do not have any other way to while away the time, for it is not customary for little girls to go to school as boys do, they make better use of their characters than men, and they use them in things of devotion, and in other things that are not of devotion."

There are attempts of modernizing Baybayin such as adding letters like R, C, V, Z, F, Q, and X that are not originally on the script in order to make writing modern Filipino words easier such as the word Zambales and other provinces and towns in the Philippines that have Spanish origins. Baybayin

This puts Luzon and Palawan as the oldest regions where baybayin was and is used. It
