Baybayin: Ang Halaga ng Pagkakakilanlan (Baybayin: The Importance of Identity) : Camp Tinio National High School

In promotion of the Ancient Filipino writing system, Baybayin, through the advocacy of the YAKAP Volunteers and in commemoration of the International Year of Indigenous Languages as promoted by UNESCO, the core purpose of this Baybayin lecture and workshop was to further encourage the youth to be aware of the importance of their cultural identity through their written language. The lecture and workshop–an event recognized by UNESCO–was led by Allan Torres Camba, a Master’s Degree Candidate on Anthropology & Archaeology at Harvard University, Extension Studies, also a High School Teacher of World History at Southern High School, Guam, and a YAKAP Volunteer.

It is the aspiration of the YAKAP Volunteers to be able to foster cultural appreciation among the youth and to create a goal where every Filipino child have a strong foundation in regards to their Filipino identity.
