Coined by Paolo Manalo, Jolography poems are pieces of poetry that use combinations of English words in order to sound like Filipino when read together.

Take the title for example: An Here Up Knee Tow.

At first glace, it looks like random words just mushed up together for no apparent reason. However, if you read it, An Here Up Knee Tow sounds as Ang Hirap Nito. It is almost like a code only for Filipinos to understand.
