EN: to declaim in a poetic joust
The OG Filipino rap battle. Before FlipTop, there was Balagtasan. To 'balagtasin' is to spit bars, but make it romantic, metaphorical, and in formal Tagalog. It's arguing with someone through poetry, where the sickest burns are also the most beautifully worded.
Hango sa pangalan ni Francisco Balagtas, isang tanyag na Pilipinong makata.
Specifically used in the context of 'Balagtasan', a form of Filipino poetic debate.
