BAYBAYIN, The Script of the BAHALA NA Religion?

Below was the article I posted on the page of The God Culture channel in YouTube. I actually didn't intend to discuss the issue, it actually was just base on my own gut feel before I actually take a look at myself . I had asked TGC to check for it because I believe they were truly given that discerning spirit to interpret and reveal the end-time messages for mankind, but by chance we had an unplanned visit at the National Museum and the big letters of the word Baybayin flashes right in front of me, as if God is telling me to take a look for myself.  Here it is, and I want to share this information to you. The picture were added here to prove further which is by the way perhaps I will re-write this article into a more concise well presented piece. Anyway, the context of the message can be very useful as it is... 

BAYBAYIN, The Script of the BAHALA NA Religion?

To those who requested to pursue the discussion on the Baybayin anomalies that I've discovered or rediscovered: 

I'm going to present here some raw info that I've gathered so far, still needed to be refined or edited, because I must admit I'm not a Linguist but may I boldly claim, that I am an avid Truth Seeker ever since I was a young boy. Name any Christian denomination in the Philippines and probably I've attended service at least one. The problem I face is how to organize the layer upon layer of cover-up, some I personally know from recollection of my own experiences but most are from earlier article regarding the controversies in and around the alledge ancient script of the Filipinos called Baybayin.

I'm presenting this to clarify issues regarding the true history of my country and to call the attention of everyone, especially the Filipino people to challenge tradition and to question everything that we identify ourselves today as a nation. Only thru the understanding of our past, as a People chosen by Yahuah God we can fulfill the destiny He set for us. 

As The God Culture, open my eyes, I became aware of the many misinformation we had now in mainstream media. I urge you to Test every Spirit whether they are from God or not. So here we go... 

Most of what we know today about Baybayin (or Alibata, the connection is another story) came from the Artist's Community saturated with New Age thinking, so that's why as a visual artist myself, it is going to be a greater challenge for me because I could be accuse of trying to make myself popular in this industry, a plagiarist and disrespectful to Authorities and known tradition...but I believe Yahuah God had chosen someone from within the art scene to speak up. In fact No less than our National Artist for Sculpture Guillermo Tolentino was the proponent of Baybayin in modern times. Most of the info we had today are base on this very creative man. Yes the same person who created the famous Oblation monument of UP and the Monumento of Andres Bonifacio. Bonifacio by the way, together with the rest of the KKK are the one's that are mostly associated with the used of baybayin during Spanish time, most notably using them as symbols of our revolutionary flags. 

Baybayin was believe to have derived from the Bhramic script family like the Sanskrit of India. If sanskrit users believe their text was the oldest, the Filipinos who promote baybayin claim the Sanskrit came from baybayin. I'm not going to that discussion for now. 

But there is something common among those who claim the importance of Baybayin being the "Lost" Ancient Script of The Philippines. (Take note, there were other localized script being used  before the Spaniards came, one quick walk at the National Museum made me realized this) The common theme in Baybayin was the extraction of the word Bathala. They would usually begin explaining the meaning of the Syllable for Bathala, the creator god of the ancient filipinos?  Not exactly. 

I will show you that, it was the MISUNDERSTANDING of words, translation, and intentional INVENTION of a New Religion.   

The syllabic Ba Ha La is their main "Soundbite" to promote this theory.   Where's the 'T' ? never mind, I can't find an explanation why they have to remove it. In the first place, what inspired them to reveal the hidden meaning of each syllable or the Logic behind why each letter has to have meaning? Well, they know that to draw the attention of people you have to create a cloud of mysteries in Baybayin, the ancient Filipino script. Almost everyone love mystery. And they chose the word Ba Ha La....or BatHaLa. They just get rid of the T, don't argue, it doesn't matter, you are ruining the mystery.

But before that, let's validate where the Tagalog word Bathala came from. It probably derived from an Indian Sanskrit word Bhattara meaning "nobel lord", in fact, in Southern Philippines they call him Batara just liked the Indonesian, which by the way, have other transliteration from around the South-Pacific countries. Note that, it's not read Bat-hala, as most of us would do today. It should be Ba-thala or simply Batala. The inventor of this, who you will know later, must have difficulty concocting something that he had in mind if he doesn't play with sounds and letters, because he have to insert that Ha...here's why....

Pardon me for the words but this is how the Bathala decoder explain their creator god...We are grown up now so we can discuss these without malice...This is how Sculptor Guillermo Tolentino explain the 3 syllable bathala....

Ba- from babae (woman) with the script similar to that of a female organ, vagina. Ha- for hangin (air)using the zigzag ray. and La- as in Lalake (man) as the script was form like a male organ, penis. Wow! We can stop right here and dismiss who this god Bathala is....a fertility god? Maybe.  What do they have in common in the Ancient Occult? Sex and Fertility. Obelisk, Yule Tree, Bunny, Egg, etc... Okay, we can't actually discuss this without looking into the malicious mind of the decoder.

Now, there are more than a dozen different Ba words, if not hundreds, that we can extract like Bahay, Bato, or Basa, why he jump to that conclusion? More so with Ha or La. In fact, some baybayin version sometimes render ba as a circular script like the Roman vowel O. The La was as I've seen in the National Museum look like the familiar letter T.  

Just get a copy of the Baybayin chart for reference because I can't type the symbols here obviously.  Now you will never look into baybayin again without remembering Sex and Fertility. It is there. When asked how National artist G. Tolentino able to come up with the root origin of the picture words he said that it was thru a spirit medium or via Supernatural sources...by the way, aside from being a sculpture Mr. Tolentino is a Spiritist. Proof? He was one of the founders of Unión Espiritista Cristiana de Filipinas Inc. 

No linguistic background, or any reference to scholarly research that went before him, he just conjure up the meaning or as he said, tapped the supernaturals for the hidden code behind baybayin. He made good sculptures of man and god, so perhaps he is right? He gave no citation to earlier research on the subject. Yes, somebody from his not so recent past already wrote a very controversial book. We will track this too.

By the way, here's my own Theory....we had an actual direct meaning of the syllables BaHaLa in Tagalog. Bahala means Whatever. " Bahala Na!" as in Let it be, Whatever will be will be, Que sera sera or similar to the Shoe brand NIKE AIR tagline "Just do it!"...  are Nike manufacturer a baybayin follower? Probably, just look at their logo. The stylized baybayin symbol for Ha, as in Hangin or Air. And they said "Just do it"... Bahala na. They sure come from the same source. 

Artist like me do have very rich imagination. Why not Ba Ta La? There's your answer, because it has to be the Ha for Hangin or (air). 

Bahala Na!!! The airy, swift way of thinking by Filipino, that regarded their destiny to pure chance and Luck.  It seems to be an expression that came from the Bathala worship? Most probably... "Basta Bahala Na!!!" Tagalog like that expression when they are in a tight situation. Others, assumed though that when you say, "Bahala na." What they are actually saying is "Let god's will be done." but whose god? The Ba Ha La, sexual union god? Think about that corruption on the change of consonant Ta and how it should be pronounce. By the origin of the word itself, Bhattara just like how the south pronounce it as ba-ta-ra, and that insertion of the letter H you can already see the pattern of intentional misleading to make the people worship the fertility god.    

In fact, Fernando Riquel in 1572 spelled it as "Batala" in his journal. Riquel was the chief notary and scribe of the Spanish Royal Armada headed by Miguel Lopez de Legaspi during the Spanish colonization of the Philippines in the 16th century.  

He wrote: "As for their sacrifices, each one of the natives, so far as I have seen, has in his house many idols, to whom they pray. They call God, Batala, and the chief idol which they have is thus named; but others call him Diobata (Diwata) – at least among the Pintados (term used by Spanish to describe indigenous people with tattooed bodies in Cebu, Bohol, Samar and Leyte) they give him this name. The natives of this island (Luzon) usually call him Batala, and even consider him God of all creation. Accordingly, after the religious came to this land and commenced to preach the faith of Jesus Christ, and to baptize, the natives have not known how to give any other name in their language to God our Lord, except that of Batala.”

Note this also that he wrote Diobata instead of Diwata. Note that "wa" transliteration because it is key to understand what I will relate later. 

So it was not Bathala nor Bahala originally. Notice the last paragraph of Riquel, the natives have NO NAME, can't give a name to their god but Batala. They have to borrow a term from those they have Trade with. The term "Noble Lord" from Sanskrit because to Ancient Filipino WE HAVE NO NAME FOR GOD. That is why we probably adopted the name to communicate easily and so we borrow the term from the Malays? Read between the lines. They can't give a name to God. So to an Ancient Filipino Batala is not a "proper" name of God, but for ease of communication. 

By the way, We also have a Gang inside Bilibid prison called Bahala Na Gang. Note that this BNG fraternity are known by there Tattoo. Why tattoo is important? You will know later the connection... 

What many of us today doesn't know is that most of the mythology behind Bathala are written by Spanish.  We also know that, for a time, Bathala was incorporated into Christian teaching by the friars in order to assist with converting the population to Christianity. Read between the lines of those Spanish writers, though they are bias we can extract some truth in them. 

Well, as I've said Tolentino isn't actually the Real source about this Bathala-Baybayin origin. It was the notorious Maguinoo (Lord) Pedro Paterno who actually introduce this Bathala story in his book "La Antigua Civilisacion Tagalog". Maybe Tolentino is not paying attention to History or he is just a plain liar. Oh No, the spirit told him the meaning, don't question tradition. Take his word for it. ....And that is what our Generation did, accepted his Baybayin fantasy without a fight but the original inventor? He was rather badly ridiculed. 

Who he is? The Ba Ha La code was actually decoded much earlier by Pedro Paterno in 1887. Now I realized who this person is, who had Streets dedicated on his namesake. So we had a connection now with those people who made their way through Arts, History, and Politics.  Another one is Lope K. Santos, a former Senator, Filipino language expert and called as The Father of Tagalog Grammar...who basically decoded nothing else but B H L and UHA, the sound of the baby cry. Thanks to the genius of Tolentino's spiritual adviser who outwit even grammar expert, he decoded more secret in baybayin than this two scholars. Anyway, let's look into the Originator of BHL. 

How Paterno came up with Bathala-baybayin legend? He just think so. Pretty much like Tolentino, the words magically appear on his mind. Well he is an attorney and a writer.  He claims he researched for the meaning extensively. Yes from the Spanish writer obviously whom he admire. 

No, Huwag Ma-BAHALA, don't quick to blame Paterno, like any other Propagandista of his time, he might just be trying to promote the idea that Filipinos are capable of governing their own nation by laying the foundation of our ancient past...BUT still under the Spanish rule. Unlike the other mind-conditioner, that is what Propagandista are for...Paterno was Spanish by heart. He was a conservative Catholic and a Spanish supporter. He was considered notorious by his fellowmen because he is the famous "balimbing". The original Bathala-Baybayin promoter is a very passionate Catholic-Spain fan? Hmmmmm.... something not quite right? In fact he form a religious group called Tagalismo at Bathalismo. Now you heard that being taught in history right? But we just ignore this fact. These group of Bahala believer was responsible for distorting our Ancient Ophirian history. An alternative history sanctioned by the Roman Church to eradicate the true identity of our Nation. Spain doesn't mind baybayin promoter like Paterno but removed signs that points to Ophir. Strange?

Now are you seeing a pattern of corruption in Ophir History? In fact, not all Filipinos are idiot who easily buy the bathala-baybayin theory. There's a lot of Paterno basher when his book came out, one of them Dr. Jose Rizal who criticized  when he wrote to his friend Ferdinand Blumentritt , an ethnologist...written in German Rizal said... "In regard to the work of my countryman P.A. Paterno on Bathalà, I tell you, pay no attention to it; P.A. Paterno is like this: [here Rizal drew a line with a series of loops]. I can find no word for it, but only a sign like this: [more loops] .....

Dr. Rizal, a noted genius and linguist who can speak a lot of different languages is speechless with regards to the bathala legend? Rizal argue and inquired why the Filipinos in general, during his time and recent past seems to have forgotten this Bathala god? Then, Rizal linked this to a group of people that worship this god in parts of Luzon. 

A Fraternity of Men with Tattoo called Pintados in some part of the country? Well, that I will cover later.  

Did Paterno actually invent baybayin or to be precise the Spanish-baybayin? Absolutely....but for me, there might just be a bit of a truth in his narrative. Somewhere from the Tagalog and Zambal community of Luzon...as some critic noted we can guess where these myth came from. Paterno is from Luzon, He even claim he was one of the Nobility of Luzonica. He will most probably made up a Propaganda that his neighbor can easily relate. He disregard the Visayan and the Mindanao culture, who actually was first interviewed by Magellan's biographer, Antonio Pigafetta....who wrote in his journals, what the people answered when Pigafetta ask who they worship "We had no other God but Abba..." He was probably in the areas of Surigao, Davao, or Agusan  when he asked this question to filipino natives. Near the Garden of Eden? The province of Camiguing?  I'm still digging into this Caraga Antigua by Peter Schreurs.

What Pigafetta wrote was basically the same with what Riquel noted. Remember they were probably speaking with an interpreter. Abba means "My Father" So instead of transferring my father, Pigaffeta wrote the term as it is. Just like Riquel, instead of translating the natives of Luzon name for god that they can't give a name they simply used THE LANGUAGE OF TRADE that their commercial partner uses Batala and take note, not Bathala. Also notice that when the Spanish came they were baffled that our Ancestor speak a sort of Hebrew. Hence we call Our Father in Heaven "Abba" the same endearing term Jesus used before he died on the cross.    

Some scholars and historians are bias...especially if most of our Prominent universities are founded by our Colonizers like the Spaniards and the Americans.

To set Baybayin above the other native script actually is not reliable and unwise, because there are different versions of it. No it isn't just a slight difference in handwriting but different in form. In fact, the Common or the popular script had a very clear Romanized fusion of letters, like the symbol for Sa...a joined V 3. An occultist symbol. V the Vector, Vesica pieces, the shape of female organ again? and which is joined together by 3 for the Thunder...Thor? Satan himself for the syllabic letter Sa? 

Another notable anomalies within baybayin is the absence of "Wa" or the sound "Wa". You heard it right. Earlier baybayin don't have wa. Thus, further proof that it is not a Tagalog script. I think this only appeared on Tolentinos theory. Well, he might have realized it is impossible for any Tagalog speaker to remove the wa sound in their dialect. We had so many word using "wa" sound, Wala, Walo, Tawa, Wakas, Watawat, or YA-HU-WA? hmmmm...

Maybe someone can check if Indian Sanskrit has the Wa on it. Anyhow...

Modern baybayin people solve this by saying it was the Va. Yes because Roman letter inter-change this with U sound. Quite a stunt to mislead or an scape to embrace tradition even if you knew full well that it is against factual sources. But that wasn't the case during my high school days, and I can remember so well that the text book we had then actually noted that ancient Filipino don't use the sound word "wa". That information lingers at the back of my head although I've almost forgotten nearly everything I learned some 30 years ago in academics but that small detail remain, now I know why. Perhaps Yahuah God want me to remember this detail. 

Why I'm saying this? Because there are people in this present generation that still support baybayin occult relation and continue to defend it, up to the point of actually making up stories at their whim. Modern baybayin now had the syllabic script for Wa. Now I will be condemn for inventing story myself because there will be more proof in the mainstream media that contradict my theories. Yet, there is a very clear document there in our National Archive that shows NO syllabic counterpart for "Wa" at least, during Spanish time. I took picture of it and have photos. 

Who are promoting the Modern baybayin today? New Age thinkers. Famous Artist, Celebrities, and Historian...who add up more embellisment to support their New Age mindset.  The Princess Urduja story and Code of Kalatiao are tainted with controversies too. That's another topic. 

 Ancient Ophirians must have the letter sound Wa because it is a common sound that our  Tagalog language make when we communicate. Huwag! Wakas! Wagas! Suwag! These are important words. So why would our ancestor use the V and U analysis of Rome and Spain to create the Wa sound?  Because to a Filipino to properly read Yahuah, they have to spell it with the equivalent Ya Hu Wa not Ya Hu Va if they have to invent a Script bowrrowed from Sanskrit or the other way around. As language progress we adopt pronunciation that weren't there before like the Uh or Ua sound to replace Wa. It's okay, no problem today. Like the name Jesus. We can safely read them now as Dyisus. If it came earlier it would be Yesus or something like that. But for ancient Pinoy, to remove 'wa' it is like removing a portion of our tongue. So the Bahala Advocate have to re-invent the baybayin from the Spanish Va to a more credible Tagalog Wa. 

Then I remember my mother, a Visayan, whenever she was fuming in anger she would cry "Pisting ya...." God forbid that I can not even write it or spake it anymore to slander the name of Yahuah God.  

As an Artist, I'm quite interested in symbol since my college days, especially when I studied old paintings of masters. My painting style too was Symbolical and surreal to share my message. I can say, I was a self-proclaim expert on signs, symbols, or corporate Logos,  due to these interest on the said subject. I am now 50 years old. Although I'm not at par with the scholar on this area who knew the exact origin and meaning, yet I can recognize some of the common occult signs. I actually created a Blog called "Wisdom of a Fool" that tackle this matter and although I don't believe anymore some but not all, of what I have written and shared there, which others may categorized as that of a Conspiracy Theorist blog due to this passion of mine to seek the truth. I was young then, a Christian with a heart like that of a Bereans, who constantly "Test every spirit"...that is why I came to the The God Culture channel. Now, TGC hit my heart. We really can't be too sure about anything, until we "Personally" check them out.   

My theory is, again this is just a theory. Perhaps, the reason why The Ancient Philippines fell in the hands of Spain was because Ophir begun to worship other gods, as we can trace this to a group of people called The Pintados, who seem to be worshipping a sun-god. That was a regular scenario in Israel too, they Sin, they were given to Slavery, then eventually embracing the religion of their Masters. So perhaps, Ophirians and later the Sheba folks of Visayas, and Tarshish begun to embrace the gods of other nations who we exchange trade with. By the Malays or Indians? 

Why the ships of Tarshish will go first, according to prophesy? Maybe they were the least exploited with occult teaching. Somehow, down there in the southern part of The Philippines, there's a group of people who still kept the God culture of Ancient Philippines called Ophir by Solomon and Havila by Noah, again this is just my analogy, don't bash my head right away, I am simply inquiring my thoughts and your ideas are most welcome. Maybe TGC will eventually find out this connection, as I am fully convince that the people behind TGC were truly God sent. 

Fast forward to this generation. The Baybayin script are all over like the model of a globe map. Many government institution here uses baybayin as Logos. The National Museum uses the syllabic Pa. Philippines? The Pa symbol looks like a slant lower case F. Modernize script for Filipino? The baybayin fashion is revered by Tattoo enthusiast today from all kinds of people, Rich and Poor, as a must have on their skin. Well, it's no surprise since during pre-colonial time a special warrior class people who are called The Pintados (the painted-ones) who are Sun-worshipper might actually be the ones who ever mentioned Bathala or Bahala, as creator god. They believe they gain special power when they cut their skin , ink with some baybayin script of prayers together with symbols of their gods. The Bathala promoter of today like to point out that  ancient Filipinos are monotheistic. Yes they are right in that sense....but the Bathala that the Pintados knew isn't. They believe in amulet, their inked body became an armor of sort that no weapon can penetrate. 

This is the story that goes into Headline about our Philippine ancestor, not the Ophir, Sheba, and Tarshish culture that TGC tracked following the Mountains of Gold that King Solomon speak of. No this Occult people love to talk about the half-naked Tattoo people....take note... but not ever mentioning the Gold Costume they stole and placed in their museums. 

I beleive somewhere out there hidden in those Museum archives around the World are The Real Alphabet of the Ophirians. The one that Enoch and probably Noah uses to write the origin of mankind's civilization...  The one that was not styled to fit the occult religion. 

 In fact, people of Luzon, the Tagalog, the Katiponeros like Aguinaldo and Bonifacio were known to be believer of Agimat, Anting-anting or Amulet. Are they secret followers of Pintados? Was the blood compact an initiation to this brotherhood? You can check the personal belongings of Katipuneros in various museums all over the country. Yes some Agimat bears the one-eye god, Horus. The illuminati pyramid. Most of them with Baybayin code to decipher so you can tap the special power. They even design our flag with the Sun and 3 stars or Pentagram of Ba Ha La? Before I forgot, Paterno would also contradict himself and wrote that La is also Ra. Ra, the sun-god of Egypt?  

The icon of the miraculous "Ina ng Laging Saklolo" or Mother of Perpetual Help.... observe that painting and you'll probably notice where the baybayin was patterned, see those swirls and V. There's a popular university here that had it on display in their campus, that is the popular version since there are several of it done by other artist. Noteworthy here is that the image was said to came around the 15th century, just about the time Spain came to the Philippines. 

Remember the TV series on GMA 7 called "Pintados" with one class of tattooed people against another tattooed hybrid human class of Half man, half reptile? What caught my attention was they used baybayin although not the popular version. Before that, I thought Baybayin was a single type of script. As I search further, there were other stylized form and that there is no way to trace which comes first.  Reptilian hybrid human battling our ancestor? Confusing further the story of our Lolo and Lola. 

Let's analyse the fact now. Resources on Baybayin are actually easy to find. An extensive critic around the 90's done by Paul Morrow and Hector Santos can be acquired on the net and they were good sources. Although I don't agree with what they have concluded about Filipino God or gods, labeling our Ancestor as mostly Pagan and Animist. Because their conclusion also don't agree with what the Holy Bible revealed, so it gotta be wrong. Maybe they just missed the Solomon Gold connection. I don't blame them, they were also following the narratives of the World and were not Bible base researchers. Thanks anyway to their passion we have clues about the occult past. Anyway, if you want to cross-reference what I have written you can check them. Surprisingly, there are many proponent of Baybayin-Bathala code which can further add details to our search. Most are business enthusiast who make money from baybayin trade. I suggest READ BETWEEN the lines and the direction they are going. 

Side-note: I guess, Rizal would be storming in anger if he saw his letter Mi Ultimo Adios (The Last Farewell) on display at the National Museum. It was beautifully reproduced in baybayin script...What?! The number one critic of Baybayin is being ridiculed on his last solemn letter. They even made a monument of him  which declares The fertility god won. Yes the obelisk, where they nailed him as a memorial of being a traitor to motherland. Fortunately Rizal never consider this country as motherland but a Fatherland. The Abba! 

    "Adios PATRIA adorada.." or Farewell, my adored fatherland. 

   They said he was member of a masonic order that is why, no clear proof on that. Even so, the Obelisk in Luneta (The moon) is a large dirty finger that the occult religion is waving on your face. Over the dead body of our National Hero.  

How about the alleged ancient rock quarried somewhere underneath the bedrock that bares the fossilized remain of baybayin? That is for future study. But expert are quite sure that the boulder was a hoax. There is too much to uncover behind baybayin-bathala connection. Perhaps, some of you can help me too. Or perhaps clarify some of my failures as you can see, I am not even good in grammar. This again, are raw research of an Artist-Painter-Christian who love God so much, who seek for His truth day and night. 

Do these New Age thinkers, would even care if these Scripts were tied to the occult? They would probably find it even extra cool to have a tattoo of an ancient Filipino cult etched on their skin. If you're a Christian and already have this tattoo, don't worry it is not your fault out of ignorance. Like most of us, we've been brainwash to believe in an alternative god.The alternative gospel who tries to silence the voice crying in the wilderness.

But never ever give up or lose hope. Jesus have a promise for us all Filipinos, a promise for the rest of mankind.

Amen. Forget about me, I am just a Struggling artist. May all Glory be directed to Yahuah God and to His son Jesus Christ.  

End of the post...

So how about Alibata? Well, they try to link this two together to further confuse our Ophir History. There are still more to discuss like the syllabic Ra for examples, among others.... You will understand why we really must be very observant  on the signs of our times. Our journey back to Ancient Philippines is only about to start....
