EN: poetry recital, elocution contest
Before rap battles, there was `bigkasan`. This is the OG spoken word event you were forced to join during Buwan ng Wika. It's declaiming "Ang Magsasaka" with so much drama, you'd think you actually planted a grain of rice in your life. It's performance art with a very specific, and often very loud, Filipino flavor.
ROOT MEANING: pronunciation, utterance
Refers to the event or contest itself.
