The House of Committee on Education and Culture recently passed House Bill 1022 on the implementation of the Coast as a national writing system.

         The Coast was a Filipino writing system during the Pre-Spanish Era. It is often referred to as "alibata" but in contrast to the Coast comes the "alibata" in Malaysia while the Philippines is off the coast.

          Following this news is the rise of various reactions from Filipino netizens. Of the thousands of posts, tweets, replies, and comments they had only one thing to consider: the Coast's implementation of the Philippine education system before it became a writing system.

          “It's about time ... because it's our alphabet, not ours. Kumbaga in turn is acknowledging that the Filipinos were not uneducated when the Spaniards came. Acknowledging the Baybayin as a system of writing is also acknowledging the Filipino culture and heritage, ”said Ms. Carmela Padillo, University of the Philippines Los Banos alumna, is now a teacher at Quezon National High School.

           QNHS students also agree on Coastal implementation issues in the country's education system.

           “The Coast should only be integrated into the education system because it was developed by our ancestors and this is what we really need to study,” agreed Jan Angelo Paderon.

            Studying this language carefully can open up many positive outcomes for the country. But what if many Filipinos even use the Coast on a daily basis and not just pay attention to it?

            Come and visit the Coast that most people are not aware of yet. Here are the things that the writing system used to do:

 

             Youth mobile applications are also available where you can communicate with others using the Coast.

             The Coastal Keyboard App is here for millennials to chat with one another. The Coast is still available in modern times.
