Nityalila · "Mana" (Baybayin Song)

Baybayin, Buhayin!

Filipino artist-musician, Nityalila Saulo is on a mission to inspire modern Filipinos to relearn and rediscover their roots through Baybayin. She hosts free classes online to spread Baybayin literacy for Filipino communities around the world. In 2019, she received her Baybayin Teacher’s certification in the Philippines through GINHAWA Inc. This class gave her a renewed sense of appreciation of her identity as a Filipino. Now based in San Diego, California, her desire to teach Baybayin is stronger than ever. It helps her to reaffirm her roots and hopes to help other Filipinos to rediscover themselves and understand their culture through the art and power of Baybayin.

Baybayin is one of the pre-colonial ancient writing scripts of the Philippines. At the end of this class, you will be able to read and write Baybayin, write your name in Baybayin, and compose a short letter in Baybayin. This class is open to ages 14 and older and must be able to understand Filipino.

Testimonials

The expert handling of Nityalila and the interest of the “students” I believe contributed to a great learning experience. I must confess to being very excited about learning Baybayin as another means of expression and communication.

It was the most educational half an hour of my life! I recommend this to people who want to learn Baybayin but has difficulty focusing or grasping linguistic concepts. Nityalila made complicated things so much easier to understand. Thank you so much for all your hard work! Mabuhay!

I’d encourage everyone to join this Baybayin class! Nityalila was very effective in communicating in the virtual setting, the visual aid was perfect, and the exercises were enough to get you to learn all the characters in 90 minutes! A little history of the script and each character is explained as well which made recalling the alphabet a lot easier. Couldn’t ask for a better class.

Janjan Manibo

Thank you so much, Nityalila, for this class. I highly recommend your class to anyone who is interested in learning Baybayin and its background, or to anyone who is interested in the Filipino language and native Filipino script writing. The class was easy to follow, and I was really surprised and happy to be able to write in Baybayin at the end of the class.

Niña

Baybayin for me is the intersection of art, language, and energy. It’s the kind of beauty that once you see, you can’t unsee. It stirred something in me because I started seeing the ancient wisdom behind the energies of words we use everyday, and when I started sharing it with close friends it had a similar effect on them. Teaching Baybayin is sharing that wisdom, and it’s my way of serving the Filipino people.
