I was thinking about those alphabets still being used by some ethnics in Mindoro-Palawan, the mangyans? The form is that of sanskrit, They're deeply rooted to the Alibata's, so theyre they only ones left in existence as true native filipino writings btw, luckily the NGO's or gov.? is still funding to preserve that.
