Philippines native Baybayin script is part of the Brahmic scripts family and they are descended from the Brahmi script of ancient India. Historically, Southeast Asia was under the influence of Ancient India, where numerous Indianized principalities and empires flourished for several centuries in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. Philippines native Baybayin script is not Chinese script. Philippines native Baybayin script was replaced by the Latin script during Spanish Empire's influence.

@indiasuperclean6969 My point with the Philippines native Baybayin script comment is to debunk Imperial China's exclusive maritime trade in the South China Sea / West Philippines Sea when the Philippines native Baybayin script is influenced by the Brahmi script of ancient India.

@spideken123 Laguna Copperplate Inscription. Prior to the European colonial era, South East Asia was under the Indosphere of greater India, where numerous Indianized principalities and empires flourished for several centuries in what are now Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Cambodia, and Vietnam. The influence of Indian culture in these areas was given the term Indianization.[4] French archaeologist George Coedes defined it as the expansion of an organized culture that was framed upon Indian originations of royalty, Hinduism and Buddhism, and the Sanskrit dialect.[5] This can be seen in the Indianization of Southeast Asia, the spread of Hinduism, and the transmission of Buddhism. The Indian diaspora, both ancient (PIO) and current (NRI), played an ongoing key role as professionals, traders, priests, and warriors.[6][7][8] Indian honorifics also influenced the Malay, Thai, Filipino and Indonesian honorifics.[9] The pre-colonial native Filipino script called Baybayin, known in Visayan as badlit , as kur-itan/kurditan in Ilocano and as kulitan in Kapampangan, was itself derived from the Brahmic scripts of India. Alphabet scripts from Laguna Copperplate Inscription are NOT Chinese. The Philippines is NOT adopted Chinese scripts like Japan's Kanji transmission.

@mavistheman69 The US and PH have a mutual defense treaty similar to NATO's Article V grade. PH's security assurances with the US are stronger than Ukraine's weak Budapest Memorandum.

@indiasuperclean6969 Your statements about India's subjective benefits are red herrings for "Is China preparing for a war in the Pacific" topic. India also has active territorial disputes with China. Look in the mirror.

@chungleung2098 At the lowest point in the Philippines and the US relationship, the Philippines lost territory to China. Feelings are useless without firepower to back them i.e. to quote a certain Chinese game, "Fantasy can only survive with an underlying reality".

@howleme5903 Examples, 1. The Seal of the National Historical Commission of the Philippines, with the two Baybayin ka and pa letters in the center. 2. Logo of the National Library of the Philippines. 3. Logo of the National Museum of the Philippines, with a Baybayin pa letter in the center, in a traditional rounded style. 4. Philippine passport (2016 edition) showing the Baybayin script. 5. A number of legislative bills have been proposed periodically aiming to promote the Baybayin writing system, among them is the "National Writing System Act" (House Bill 1022/Senate Bill 433). It is used in the most current New Generation Currency series of the Philippine Peso issued in the last quarter of 2010.

@ShenZA6 At the lowest point in the Philippines and the US relationship, the Philippines lost territory to China. The Philippines lost territory to China when the Philippines doesn't have a proper airforce service i.e. before FA-50PH fighter jets! Feelings are useless without firepower to back them i.e. to quote a certain Chinese game, "Fantasy can only survive with an underlying reality".

@chungleung2098 >without US, there's no disputed That's bullshit. At the lowest point in the Philippines and the US relationship, the Philippines lost territory to China.

@tossancuyota7848 The Archives of the University of Santo Tomas in Manila, one of the largest archives in the Philippines, currently possesses the world's biggest collection of ancient writings in Baybayin. Despite being primarily a historic script, the baybayin script has seen some revival in the modern Philippines. It is often used in the insignia of government agencies and books are frequently published either partially or fully, in baybayin. Bills to require its use in certain cases and instruction in schools have been repeatedly considered by the Congress of the Philippines. From the material that is available, it is clear that baybayin was used in Luzon, Palawan, Mindoro, Pangasinan, Ilocos, Panay, Leyte and Iloilo, but there is no proof supporting that baybayin reached Mindanao. It seems clear that the Luzon and Palawan varieties started to develop in different ways in the 1500s, before the Spaniards conquered what we know today as the Philippines. Baybayin was noted by the Spanish priest Pedro Chirino in 1604 and Antonio de Morga in 1609 to be known by most Filipinos, and was generally used for personal writings and poetry, among others.

@tossancuyota7848 Historically Southeast Asia was under the influence of Ancient India, where numerous Indianized principalities and empires flourished for several centuries in Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Philippines, Cambodia and Vietnam. The influence of Indian culture into these areas was given the term Indianization. French archaeologist George Coedes defined it as the expansion of an organized culture that was framed upon Indian originations of royalty, Hinduism and Buddhism and the Sanskrit language. Reference Coedes, George (1967). The Indianized States of Southeast Asia. Australian National University Press. Australian National University (ANU) is the only national state university to have been created by the Australian Parliament.

@alballesteros6421 My point is Philippines' native Baybayin script is not Chinese script. Your "India will claim Philippines?" is nonsense.

@chaseadams5037 The Laguna Copperplate Inscription found in 1989 suggests Indian cultural influence in the Philippines by the late 9th century AD. The copperplate inscription suggests economic and cultural links between the Tagalog people of the Philippines with the Javanese Medang Kingdom, the Srivijaya empire, and the Hindu-Buddhist kingdoms of India. Hinduism in the country declined when Islam was introduced by traders from Arabia which was then followed by Christianity from Spain.

@alballesteros6421 Linguistic influence left lasting marks on every Philippine language. Below are some borrowed terms, which were often Buddhist and Hindu concepts, with the original Sanskrit; some of the words in many Philippine languages are loaned from Sanskrit and Tamil. The conservative nature of these loanwords and shared correspondence with Malay suggest that many of these loanwords were borrowed from an earlier form of Classical Malay that preserved the distinction between several Sanskrit phonemes.

@chungleung2098 >if America left Philippines behind The real facts, the Philippines government booted out the Americans AND disarmed the Philippines' Airforce (like New Zealand's zero combat capable fighter aircraft) which resulted in the Philippines losing territory to China.

@shaf3006 It's under the watch of the Aquinos (Cory, Benigno Jr) and Ramos administrations that the Philippines government booted out the Americans AND disarmed the Philippines' Airforce (like New Zealand's zero combat-capable fighter aircraft) which resulted in the Philippines losing territory to China.

@chungleung2098 >u think US never try? They also want to set missile force in Korea and japan Taiwan, South Korea, Japan, and Australia were researching nuclear weapons that were exchanged for US security assurances. There are different US security assurance levels with the weakest being Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum exchanged Ukraine's nuclear weapons and join Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) for US/UK/Russia security assurances. Russia exited Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. If the US fails Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum security assurances, then the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) will also fail for US allies who were researching nuclear weapons that were exchanged for US security guarantees. France's, the United Kingdom's, and Israel's independent nuclear weapons and long-range rockets are the results when the US withdraws its nuclear weapons shield (and allowed USSR nuclear strike) during the Suez Crisis. American isolationists should argue for US/UK exit from Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum (or any security assurances) and restore Ukraine's nuclear weapons! Australia and the United Kingdom have jointly detonated nuclear bombs and the United Kingdom has zero faith in US security assurances.

@mavistheman69 >Territorial dispute should only be resolved between PH and CN I agree but it should include the removal of US policy for signing countries into Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) for US security assurance. In fact, I wanted Japan, South Korea, Taiwan, and Australia to follow France's, the UK and Israel's independent nuclear weapons examples.

@vhrui904 The size of China's debt problem is truly staggering. At last measure, the debt of all sorts – public and private and in all sectors of the economy — amounted to the equivalent of $51.9 trillion, almost three times the size of China's economy as measured by the country's gross domestic product. China copied US debt addiction. Look in the mirror.
