The Tagbanua Family

Since Carracci no longer exist and all the pioneers of Granado Espada was given a chance to change their family name, (see The World Migration Package). Since Churvanesska Family was derived from a not so serious source, I decided to change my Family name into a more meaningful and sensible name, so i chose the Tagbanua word as my family name.

Tagbanua "Tagbanwa" is one of the oldest tribes in the Philippines, they inhabited the central and northern Palawan, and believed to be the direct descendants of the tabon man. They have a rich culture even before Spaniards came in to the scene. They have thier own language, writing, way of life and even traded with the country Brunei.

I must say when I saw the writings of the old alphabet I got very amazed and realize that the Philippine culture has so many things to offer to its country men, the sad thing is we were so colonialized we dont even care about it.

So that is why I changed my Family name to Tagbanua Family to help promote True Filipino Culture around the world. Here are some facinating sites about this wonderful writing system called "baybayin" cames from the word "baybay " means - to spell out. It is also popularly known as "alibata".

I will also be changing some of the names of my characters based on the Tagbanua Mythology and would be promoting the baybayin writing to my fellow men and others.
