Here’s video of UFC’s Brandon Vera practicing his moves. You will notice 2 big Baybayin tattoos on his thighs. I can’t really make them out but I think I see “LA” & “Ya”.

UFC Light-Heavyweight contender Brandon Vera has 4 big Baybayin tattoos on his back signifying Mundo (Earth), Hangin (Wind), Tubig (Water) and Apoy (Fire). Based on the photos below, it looks like the MU character is missing a kudlit below it. Without the kudlit, it would read MA-N-DO. While Mundo is conversational Tagalog for Earth, Lupa (Dirt) is probably more proper. Interested in getting artwork of this old pre-Filipino writing system? Check out the translation services.
