That's how "Beerkada" would translate in Alibata (Although, since there is no "R" in ancient Tagalog phoenetics, it now reads as "Beelkada"). If you want to see how your names translate to Alibata, check out http://www.eaglescorner.com/baybayin/baybayin.html
Yeah, I used to be able to write in fluent alibata, thanks to my terror of a history professor. Sadly, I have forgotten it, but I would very much want to pick it up again.
It's a shame just how much we have lost due to colonialization. Still, we've gained a lot from it either. Trade-offs.
ken sama: i'm so glad that you mentioned that alibata is actually baybayin. nung nasa highschool ako, i would insist that people call them baybayin. hindi naman kasi pilipino ang alibata.
mabuhay ang baybayin at sa mga nagpapalaganap nito!

Hi, I'm Frederick Victor Paredes Añana, a Filipino Fine Arts graduate of Far Eastern University , Philippines . I designed my own modified Baybayin called Maharlikang Tagalog. It has three versions.
Visit the links below (from Omniglot.com) to check them out:

For Archaic Version 1, see http://www.omniglot.com/writing/maharlikang.php#archaic1
For Archaic Version 2, see http://www.omniglot.com/writing/maharlikang2.php#archaic2
For The Simplified Version, see http://www.omniglot.com/writing/maharlikang3.php#simp
I also designed, Alfa-kinetix, a modified Baybayin with moving diacritics (or vowel markers). See
http://www.omniglot.com/writing/alfakinetix.php
I used Coreldraw and Macromedia Flash to design my Baybayins. Then I exported them as gif image files. So what do you think? Whats your comment / reaction about my modified Baybayins. Send to me your reaction to fvpa81@yahoo.com.
