Once brushed upon old paper by the hands of Kapampangan ancestors, Kulitan drifted into the folds of memory. This November, as we remember our loved ones in heaven, we should always be reminded to revive and remember this old heritage given to us. Yet today, through the touch of technology, the script awakens, its lines reborn in the language of light.
Many advocates, including historian Roby Tantingco, are bringing back the old Kapampangan way of writing. In the busy streets of Angeles City, young people gather for free lessons and small workshops, learning how to write Kulitan, each stroke a piece of their roots.
