EN: Poetic joust
This is the OG rap battle of the Philippines, but make it literature. Instead of sick burns about yo' mama, you get eloquent verses about love, society, and patriotism. Think of it as Fliptop for your Lolo and Lola, complete with a referee (the Lakandiwa) to keep things classy.
From the surname of Francisco Balagtas, the 'Prince of Tagalog Poets'.
A formal and artistic event, often held during town fiestas or literary gatherings.
