Tanaga a “Filipino Haiku”, but NOT quite accurate. Like an English haiku, the Tanaga counts syllables. Unlike the haiku, the pattern is four lines of 7 syllables each (7-7-7-7).
The biggest difference is that the Tanaga rhymes; it has a pattern of AABB in fact any combo of the latter. Ancient Tanaga were handed down through oral history and contain advice for living
