Surat Magazine

The 1st magazine written prePhilippine scripts in over 50 years

About

The inaugural Surat (to write) Magazine will be mainly written using indigenous writing systems in the Philippines in multiple languages covering topics from culture, art, poetry, food, fashion, travel, etc. A primer about the writing system will also be included for any newbies. It will also be a test for experienced readers. I left in some errors as a learning experience and point of debate. I hope that this will inspire and normalize the writing for future generations to keep it alive.
