An ambahan is a traditional form of Filipino poetry, particularly from the Hanunuo Mangyan culture. It consists of seven syllables per line, often expressing themes of nature, life, or social values. An example of an ambahan is: "Sa ilalim ng buwan, / Laging nag-iisa, / Sa hangin ay naglalakbay, / Pusong naglalakbay." This reflects the simplicity and depth characteristic of ambahan poetry.
