Filipino 101
I looked at the topics and upon seeing the contents, I thought I might post a series of Filipino lessons, starting from the Filipino alphabet. So here it goes:

The Official Filipino Alphabet

The official Filipino alphabet (as decreed in 1987) comprises 28 letters -- the 26 letters of the English alphabet plus ñ and ng.


a b c d e f g

h i j k l m n

ñ ng o p q r s

t u v w x y z


Previously, the alphabet taught to Filipino children in Philippine schools consisted of 31 letters -- the basic ABAKADA Tagalog alphabet, as developed by Lope K. Santos in the 1930s, plus c, ch, f, j, ll, ñ, q, rr, v, x, and z.

Note: In 2001, the Commission on the Filipino Language (Komisyon sa Wikang Filipino) issued "Revisyon ng Alfabeto at Patnubay sa Ispeling ng Wikang Filipino" -- revised guidelines on the use of c, f, j, ñ, q, v, x, and z. Notice the spelling of "revisyon," "alfabeto," and "ispeling."

[† wedzmer †]

but original filipino alphabet was not ABAKADA but it was called ALIBATA coming from the pre-spanish period during the islamic dominion of the philippines....

ALIBATA was derived from the first three (3) letters of the arabic alphabet which were: ALIF, BA, and TA.

and it is in the same form that which ABAKADA was taken logic from, the first three (3) letters of the english - spanish alphabet, which were A, B, K pronounced with the vowels of "a" which make it A-BA-KA...

that's a generation before your post source Pogi...
