The anting-anting is a blend of the Philippines' indigenous culture and the beliefs brought about by colonization. The marks on these amulets often consist of native patterns, Latin phrases, and Catholic symbols that are imbued powers through an albularyo’s or a mananambal’s prayers. When kept close to one’s person, the anting-anting is said to offer protection from physical harm and evil spirits, and give its owner super-human abilities.

This cultural artifact is the inspiration for F Inks’ customised Anting Anting fountain pen. Its steel body is engraved with different symbols and it carries a 14-karat gold Jowo nib in M.
