Kalyetodo is the title of Nilo’s youtube channel. Kalye means “street” in English while “todo” means “push to the limit”. In his channel you can find different ways on how to be fit using weights, hitting the gym, simple exercises and the likes.

On his arms are some sort of tribal tattoos. He didn’t really explain the meaning or breakdown of the Baybayin. What do you think it says?

Family Design

Respect and faithfulness are the two distinguish characteristics of Filipino when it comes to their family. Unlike other Asian countries, there are no booming orphanage in the Philippines for Filipinos love to keep and take care of their own parents or relatives till they grow old.

This also denotes the high respect and love of Edward with his family for his tattoo design showed it. This one is consists of 3 Stars and a Sun with the letters in family design that says his name “Edward Tumanan Tribue”.

Looks great but one character is upside down. Can anyone guess? If your going to get Baybayin tattooed, don’t use an online translator is they don’t know pronunciation and context. Either learn the script or ask someone for help.
