The Symbol
​
The symbol on the chest of the person in the image is the symbol “Ka”. It is the letter "ka" written in the Baybayin alphabet, an ancient pre-colonial Philippine alphabet.
It is a Brahmic script, derived from ancient Indian writing. Baybay literally means "to spell" in Tagalog.
"Ka" is the first syllable in the word Kali, the blade fighting science indigenous to the Philippines. It also alludes to the influence of Indian culture on the Filipino language and fighting styles. "Ka" is also used as a term of respect spoken before an individual’s surname.
