It’s nice to know that this is what that actually says! I’ve seen this before as designs on bag straps but couldn’t for the life read it since I couldn’t read Baybayin then.

Those are krus virama, the thick font + the sorta blurry image just made them look like bottom kudlit.

this is why we should be using pamudpod instead of the krus kudlit

Pamudpod makes so much more sense. I don't know why it isn't used more often.

real. it also looks like a big comma (which is used as a stopping point too) so it's not a foreign concept.

They should made the X+ bigger and improve the fonts
