Overview
Baybayin: Beyond Preservation is a speculative design research project exploring how Baybayin could become part of everyday Filipino life again through contemporary design, technology, and culture. Rather than treating it as a historical artifact, the project imagines Baybayin as a living writing system that continues to evolve alongside modern communication.

The Challenge
The Challenge
The Challenge
Although Baybayin has gained renewed interest through art, education, and cultural initiatives, it is still rarely encountered in everyday life. Most people recognize it as a symbol of Filipino heritage but have few opportunities to learn, read, or use it. The challenge was to explore how design could help bridge the gap between cultural awareness and everyday participation.

Solution
A cultural initiative that uses branding, digital experiences, education, and everyday applications to make Baybayin more visible, accessible, and usable. The project proposes a visual system where Baybayin coexists with the Latin alphabet, gradually becoming a familiar part of contemporary Filipino life rather than replacing existing writing systems.
