The corporate logo of the Center is based on the initials of its Filipino translation written in Baybayin, an ancient  writing form  that antedates the colonization of the islands.  The writing is read from top to bottom, left to right.

The Katipunan standards of the Magdiwang  (top) and Magdalo councils (bottom) used the same ancient alphabet   to denote the letter "K" in the middle of the sun emblem.
