This celebration seeks to honor the enduring significance of poetry in Filipino culture and history. It also serves as a tribute to the legacy of José Corazón de Jesús, popularly known as Huseng Batute, revered as the “Ama ng Balagtasan” (Father of Balagtasan). In recognition of his contributions and the vital role of poetry in shaping national identity, Quezon City remains committed to fostering a deep appreciation for this literary art form. Through various cultural initiatives and educational programs, the city actively promotes the practice and preservation of poetry, especially among children and youth, to ensure its continued relevance and vibrance for future generations.
