Actually, from what sources I've seen, while the Philippine scripts were
sometimes written as if they were bottom to top when using materials
other than paper, it was always read left to right. It was a case of it
being more convenient with the materials used to write it bottom to top,
but it was never intended to be read that way.
Some people write Latin script more or less bottom to top with lines
left to right. But it is not normally read like that, unless perhaps you
are reading over someone else's shoulder. Direction of handwriting is
hardly relevant to Unicode as Unicode rendering is not actual
handwriting. What is relevant is the normal expected direction of reading.
