"I don't know where to start"
Mabuhay! I'm Kristian Kabuay, author of An Introduction to Baybayin. Welcome to Balay School - A platform for prePhilippine cultural education for the diaspora. The content is based on more than a decade of learning and teaching our culture. The first course is on traditional writing systems you may know as Baybayin.

how i've helped others
- Jasmin - As a Filipina, born and raised in Germany, I got inspired by your work. I simply googled "Filipino calligrapher". Coz i am a designer and love doing calligraphy. With your books and learning sections I am willing to learn and practice more.
- Layla - You helped me learn my parents last names in Baybayin. I learned Baybayin isn’t something to be cool, but it’s deeper than that... it’s our heritage and we shouldn’t let it die. I also learned Baybayin is precolonial, and it should be more appreciated. Please excuse my lack of better words. It’s sort of embarrassing not knowing much about my heritage due to my parents being deeply Americanized. However this makes me feel, I think, more rooted to my ancestors.
- Koroush - I asked Kristian to create a piece for me that translates to "I'm thankful". I wanted this as a tattoo as it is something my mother (Filipina) has always reminded me. Aside from the tattoo, Kristian helped me indirectly learn more about my culture and history. Being a half Filipino growing up in the United States, I often never think about my roots and history of my culture. Prior to purchasing the artwork, I noticed that Kristian asked about the context of the words. In the description that he wanted people to do research on their own in terms of figuring out their "piece" (in terms of words) in their native dialect. He simply prefers people to understand a little bit of their culture. This led me to research about the history of the Philippines as well as my mother's native dialect (Ilonggo). With this piece, I not only have an invaluable memory and reminder of my mother, but also truly feel more in line with my pre-colonial culture and the context of the script itself.

frequently asked questions
Q: Email vs Video - What's the difference between the two courses?
A: The main difference is that the video content is hosted on my LMS (Learning Management System) that includes bonus content in different media such as PDF, video, and audio. The video course also includes a private community.
Q: Learn online - Can't I just learn this online? What makes this different?
A: Yes, you can learn the basics online via Wikipedia. This course organizes content from various sources that's online, books, and my personal research.
Q: Language - I don't speak any Tagalog or Philippine language, can I still learn?
A: Yes, I've created a system that separates the writing system from the language that allows you to focus on the rules.
Q: Upgrade - Can I switch from the email course to the video?
A: Yes, please contact me [email protected]
Q: Weekly - Why is the content delivered weekly rather than one time?
A: Because it's based on a system. You take what you learned in module 1 to build in module 2. Trust the system
Q: Guarantee - Can you guarantee that I'll learn?
A: No, I can only show you the door. You'll need to moonwalk in yourself and do the work.

one last thing
How many of us say, "I'll get back to it!" knowing damn well that we won't do it. How many of us are AFRAID to try something new…because we're sure we won't follow through again?
In the 10 plus years, I've been doing this, I've seen people come and go. They were hyped up when they heard about a specific cultural practice and had all the intention to do something about it but never did for various reasons. Can you relate? There are many valid reasons, such as family, finances, health, etc. Understandable.
However, we sometimes beat ourselves up and think we're lazy. Nobody wants to call ourselves lazy. What got me over the hump was having an accountability partner or the perception of one.
There's a saying that goes something like "Kung hindi ngayon, kelan? Kung hindi ako, sino?" If not now, when? If not me, who? The years go by fast and I've seen very few people make the leap to practitioners and advocates. Will you join me and others in this journey? The material in this program can show you exactly how but I can only show you the way. You'll need to take the first step for yourself.
If you sign up, you'll have taken action that about 90% of people don't take. See you inside. Salamat
