===Philippines===
The Philippines has numerous ancient and indigenous scripts collectively called [[Suyat|Suyat scripts]]. Various ethno-linguistic groups in the Philippines prior to Spanish colonization in the 16th century and up to the independence era in the 21st century have used the scripts with various mediums. By the end of colonialism, only four of the suyat scripts had survived and continued to be used by certain communities in everyday life. These four scripts are [[Hanunó'o alphabet|Hanunó'o/Hanunoo]] of the Hanuno'o [[Mangyan]] people, [[Buhid alphabet|Buhid/Build]] of the Buhid [[Mangyan]] people, [[Tagbanwa script]] of the [[Tagbanwa people]], and [[Palawan people|Palaw'an/Pala'wan]] of the [[Palawan people|Palaw'an people]]. All four scripts were inscribed in the [[UNESCO]] [[Memory of the World Programme|Memory of the World international register]], under the name ''Philippine Paleographs (Hanunoo, Build, Tagbanua and Pala’wan)'', in 1999.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Philippine Paleographs (Hanunoo, Buid, Tagbanua and Pala'wan) |url=https://www.unesco.org/en/memory-world/philippine-paleographs-hanunoo-buid-tagbanua-and-palawan |publisher=UNESCO Memeory of the World Programme |access-date=2025-04-04}}</ref>

Due to dissent from colonialism, many artists and cultural experts have revived the usage of suyat scripts that went extinct due their replacement by the Spanish-introduced Latin alphabet. The scripts being revived include the [[Kulitan alphabet|Kulitan]] script of the [[Kapampangan language|Kapampangan people]], the [[Visayan languages|badlit]] script of various [[Visayan languages|Visayan ethnic groups]], the [[Eskaya|Iniskaya]] script of the [[Eskaya people]], the [[Baybayin]] script of the [[Tagalog people]], and the [[Ilocano language|Kur-itan]] script of the [[Ilocano people]], among many others.<ref>{{Cite web |date=27 April 2018 |title='Educate first': Filipinos react to Baybayin as national writing system |url=https://www.rappler.com/nation/201104-baybayin-national-writing-system-reactions}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=24 April 2018 |title=House panel approves Baybayin as national writing system |url=http://www.sunstar.com.ph/article/1602707/Manila/Local-News/House-panel-approves-Baybayin-as-national-writing-system |website=[[SunStar]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=25 April 2018 |title=5 things to know about PH's pre-Hispanic writing system |url=http://news.abs-cbn.com/life/04/25/18/5-things-to-know-about-phs-pre-hispanic-writing-system |website=ABS-CBN News}}</ref> Due to the diversity of suyat scripts, all calligraphy written in suyat script are collectively called Filipino suyat calligraphy, although each are distinct from each other.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Stanley Baldwin O.
