Ti agmúla, agápit

As part of the Asian Tattoo article feature, the writer got a Baybayin tattoo. It reads Ti agmula, agapit. Can anyone guess what it means?

Here’s some comments from Dino, the one inked:
The tattoo also says, “Yeah, I’m Filipino and have somewhat of a grasp of my culture’s history, but in reality, I think it just looks really cool.†I mean, I could claim that I am hardcore Filipino, but I am past that now. I did the whole spoken word militant bullshit. The tattoo is just a way to celebrate my culture and to permanently mark my body with something that helps me also celebrate myself as a human (how profound).
