    Agree here. It’s cool and fun to some extent but it’s extremely limiting as well considering modern Filipino borrows various words that won’t work well with the alphabet.

      considering modern Filipino borrows various words that won’t work well with the alphabet.

      This is concerning to me as well. I hope there would be a standardized, modernized version of baybayin that is maintained by some governing body (not necessarily a government body, it could be a committee composed of academics and scholars) that would sort this kind of issue, and a lot more (such as how it can be supported on computers and smartphones). Text entry is also an issue I want to be standardized (providing a set, or several, of standards on how text entry should be handled).
