Mayon Volcano at night.
Not the KKK you’re thinking of.
Please note that in the Philippines, KKK stands for Kataastaasang Kagalanggalang Katipunan, a revolutionary anti-imperialist movement founded in 1892, and precursor to today’s revolutionary movements for national liberation and socialism. They’re the good guys.
Tatsuron
Turon has always been my favorite merienda. Even when I’m invited to give a talk, the slide about the “Best Turon is the World” is always part of it. Right now the “Best Turon in the World” (for me) is at Esteban Abada St, parallel to where our studio is.
A month (or more) ago I asked the guys from Photokitchen if they’re game for a collaboration. :) I wanted to design my own Turon with their help. We came up with the Tatsuron, a play on the tatsulok (triangle) and turon. It’s heavily inspired by crepes and the geometric nature of my illustration. :)
Thank you so much Kat, Mylene & Dwight for indulging me in this for-fun project. :)

BAYBAYIN.
The term Baybay literally means “to spell” in Tagalog. Baybayin was extensively documented by the Spanish. Some have attributed it the name Alibata, but this name is incorrect.
I would also like to point out that yes Baybayin was what our ancestors even called it as it is in the oldest dictionary recorded, the Vocabulario de la Lengua by Pedro de San Buenaventura in 1613. So to those who use Alibata or argue that it is the correct term, you are very wrong.
