The awit (Tagalog for "song"[1]) is a type of Filipino poem, consisting of 12-syllable quatrains. It follows the pattern of rhyming stanzas[which?] established in the Philippine epic Pasyon. It is similar in form to the corrido.[2]
One influential work in the awit form is Florante at Laura, an 1838 narrative poem by Francisco Balagtas.[3]
