What’s In
President of the Philippines that I admired most is Mr. Rodrigo Roa Duterte , before he became
president, Rodrigo Duterte had a reputation of being a tough mayor in the southern part of the country
called Davao…tough on criminals and drug dealers. When he became president, the drug lords were
very active all over the country, mostly in populated Metro Manila, were even prominent politicians
were implicated. I think he is the leader that we truly need these times. A hands-on and a strict leader
together with political will. His administration has achieved many things than the previous one. Duterte
is a man of action! And in a place like the Philippines, you need a leader who does what he promised…
and delivers…regardless of political and international consequence!
What’s New

Have you watch a balagtasan? it is averbal joust named after 18th century literary great fancisco
balagtas, author of the florante at laura. look up examples of the balagtasan from popular vedio-sharing
sites. does your generation have a counterpart for it? what is it called? contast the balagtasan with
present day form a verbal jousting. how do thier elements (language, theme, participants, setting, rules)
differ.
Answer: Balagtsan is an old form of debate among Filipinos, where the two poet exchanges poetic
verses Balagtasan consists of three speakers: a narrator, a male, and a woman. The three interact with
each other in a sort of a “debate.” Each of the speaker takes turns in sharing and reciting lines in poetic
rhyme in which the next speaker will try to respond in a form of rebuttal. Topics are primarily political,
including mostly with Filipino heroism in a formal manner. Sometimes the speaker also applies comedy
in their poetic lines. Fliptop is a modern balagtasan that aims to lift and revive the Filipino hip-hop in the
Philippines .The Fliptop consists of multiple judges that ranges from five to rarely ten, and three
speakers: an arbiter, and two male/female emcees also known as rappers, sometimes it is a battle
between a female and a male emcee.
The three interacts with each other in a form of informal debate. The two rappers take turns in reciting
their written bars and verses, mostly about each other's life and their deeds as a rapper. the two
elements present: verbal joust and the seeming rhyme and meter when the rappers battling (called
emcees or MCs) drop their bars or verses. Though both feature the nuances of poetry, there is a
distinction between their sensitivities. They belong to different historical and cultural channels, and we
have to recognize those attributes.

The chair and rope comes in a pair,
Yet I loosened it with a swear,
I need to live... a life unfair.

What I Can Do
“Makata ng Mangagawa”
Amado V. Hernandez, poet, playwright, and novelist, is among the Filipino writers who
practiced “committed art”.
In his view, the function of the writer is to act as the conscience of society and to affirm the
greatness of the human spirit in the face of inequity and oppression.
Hernandez’s contribution to the development of Tagalog prose is considerable — he stripped
Tagalog of its ornate character and wrote in prose closer to the colloquial than the “official”
style permitted.
His novel Mga Ibong Mandaragit, first written by Hernandez while in prison, is the first
Filipino socio- political novel that exposes the ills of the society as evident in the agrarian
problems of the 50s.
Hernandez’s other works include: • Bayang Malaya • Isang Dipang Langit • Luha ng Buwaya
• Amado V. Hernandez: Tudla at Tudling: Katipunan ng mga Nalathalang Tula 1921-1970 •
Langaw sa Isang Basong Gatas at Iba Pang Kuwento ni Amado V. Hernandez •
Magkabilang Mukha ng Isang Bagol at Iba Pang Akda ni Amado V. Hernandez.
