What is duplo and karagatan mean?

Duplo and karagatan are traditional forms of Filipino poetry. Duplo is a form of poetic debate often performed during wakes, where participants engage in a contest of wits and Wordplay using rhymed verses. Karagatan, on the other hand, is a more structured poetic game that involves a challenge to retrieve an object from the sea, often accompanied by verses that highlight themes of love and beauty. Both forms serve as cultural expressions and are integral to Filipino oral literature.
