A Facebook Balagtasan Face-Off!

A wall post on my facebook account written by a friend has resulted from a balagtasan face-off between me and my high school friends. It may sound so nosebleed but I really enjoyed having a balagtasan encounter with them.

For those who do not know, a balagtasan is the art of having an argument to people done as if reciting a poem that centers at a particular topic.
