During the session, participants translated words and names into Baybayin written system."

Kut-kut is an ancient Philippines art style and technique based on early century Oriental and European art forms. Specific designs represent the identity of a tribal unit on the island. The uniqueness of the art form is the story it presents. It has been kept alive by passing it on through the generations. It is described as a production of interwoven lines and multi-layered textures. Artisans from Samar province, one of the 7,107 islands of the Philippines, were known for their kut-kut artistry,” explained Fred DeAsis.

"Baybayin is a writing system commonly used during pre-colonial Philippines. It is one of many writing systems used in Southeast Asia. The origin could be traced back from north central India were artifacts in Brahmic writing system were found dated as early as 3rd century,” he added.
