Found this photo on Flickr that’s supposed to say KA-LI (Filipino martial art) but it actually says KA-NA because instead of the the “L” character, it’s an “N”. Notice the difference between the two.

Let’s say it’s artistic license and the “L” and “N” characters just look alike, there’s still the issue of the missing kudlit above the “LA” glyph. Kali done correctly would look like this:

  1. Ray says:

    Looks like there’s enough room there to make the correction, turn the NA into a LA.

  2. bakit ganun yung Kali naging Kala,…sana kinonsulta muna yung may kaalaman medyo sa Baybayin…sayang pabura nya nanaman siguro…

  3. naging kana i should say hehe….kaya dapat tinituro sa paaraalan itong baybayin eh…!!!!
