A BRIEF HISTORY OF KULTURA
On September 25, 2011, an initiative was launched to promote Baybayin—an ancient writing system of the Philippines—through a Facebook page called A Primer to the Ancient Filipino Script. This initiative eventually evolved into KULTURA under Riverboy Studios, founded by Allan Torres Camba. Since 2015, Allan has conducted lectures and workshops with college students at the University of Washington, Harvard University, and elementary and high school students in Pangasinan and Nueva Ecija.
​
During the global lockdowns, KULTURA adapted by initiating an online lecture titled Baybayin: During and Since the Spanish Colonial Period on May 25, 2020. This was followed by a series of online programs, culminating in the launch of an online course, Baybayin 101. The course, held from July 6 to July 24, 2020, comprised 12 lectures over three weeks, with sessions running Monday to Friday from 9:00 AM to 11:00 AM (AM session) and 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM (PM session). The program concluded with a virtual commencement ceremony and attracted 961 registrants, of whom approximately 85% were professional educators, with the remainder including students of various ages and backgrounds.
​
On November 19, 2020, the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) of the Philippines approved Riverboy Studios as a Professional Continuing Education provider. Since then, KULTURA has offered online lectures, including the Baybayin 101 and Baybayin 200 programs, providing Continuing Professional Development (CPD) units to professional teachers in the Philippines.
