Unit II - PHILIPPINE WRITING DURING THE SPANISH PERIOD


POETRY - continued to be the most popular vehicle for literary expression during the
Spanish time.
- It was highly church oriented.
- For the most part poetry was influenced by religion or was placed in the
service of religion.
- It consisted of hymns and religious verses, buhay (lives of saints), the
pasyon, and metrical romances ( corridos and awit).

POEMS
the first Tagalog versifiers who saw print.
They were natives highly literate in both Spanish and the vernacular.
Among them were Fernando Bagongbanta, Tomas Pinpin, Pedro Suarez
Ossorio and Phelipe de Jesus.
Salamat nang Ualang Hangga by Fernando Bagongbanta, a twelve-stanza poem
in alternating Tagalog and Spanish lines.
Tomas Pinpin- first known native printer, wrote his Auit in a similar manner.
Salamat nang Ualang Hoyang by Pedro Suarez Ossorio
THE MARIAN HYMNS.
Among the various devotions encouraged by the church
has been that of the Blessed Virgin. Many novenas has been attributed to her.
In 1865, Fr. Mariano Sevilla wrote several Marian hymns adopted from Fr.
Alfonso Muzzarelliss Il messe de Maggio (The Month of May).
The Marian Hymns have become the principal features of the Flores de
Mayo celebrations to this day. They consist of the (1) Salute to Virgin-sung by the
devotees as they approach the altar, (2) Pledge to the Virgin- sung as they offer
flowers at the Virgins feet, (3) Salve Regina- which follows the recitation of the
Rosary and the Litany, and the (4) Farewell to the Virgin- which concludes the
ceremonies.
THE PASYON- It is the most important literary work of a religious nature during the
Spanish period.
- The verse narrative of the suffering and death of Christ.
Ang mahal na passion ni Jesu cristong P. Natin the first known pasyon, written by
Gaspar Aquino de Belen in 1704.
METRICAL ROMANCES.
Corridos and Awit were widely read during the Spanish period.
The corridos are extended verse narratives based on tales brought into the country
from Europe. It deal mostly on courtly love and the chivalric adventures of such
heroes as Charlemagne and his peers and El Cid.
Most of the corridos are of unknown authorship.

The better- known ones are Ang Ibong Adarna, Don juan Tinoso, Don Juan Tenorio,
Ang Doce Pares ng Francia, Historia Famoso ni Bernardo del Carpio and Cay
Calabasa.
Corrido- is ordinarily in octosyllabic quatrains. (Example. Ibong Adarna)
Awit is rendered in dodecasyllabic quatrains. (Example. Florante at Laura)
Summary: IBONG ADARNA
The corrido relates the adventures of Don Juan, the youngest of the three
sons of King Fernando and Queen Valeriana of Berbanya. The king ruled the
kingdom peacefully, and the royal family was a happy one. The three brothers were
taught the art and skill of weaponry as they were all heirs apparent to the throne.
The palace was always filled with joy and laughter until one night when the
king dreamt that Don Juan was treacherously attacked and left to die in a deep well.
Worried over the meaning of his dream, the king fell gravely ill. All the physicians of
the land were summoned to cure the king but to no avail. Finally, it was learned that
the only remedy for the kings illness would be the soothing singing of an enchanted
bird, the Adarna.
The Adarna lived on Mount Tabor and could only be seen at night perched on
a tree whose leaves and fruit shone like silver and precious stones in the moonlight
so that it was named Piedras Platas. It would be gone the whole day, but as soon as
it came back to the tree in the evening, it would sing even songs, with its feathers
changing hues after every song. Then it would relieve itself and go to sleep.
Whomever its droppings would fall on would turn into stone immediately.
One after the other the two elder brothers set out to look for the bird but
failed to return. They had unwittingly fallen asleep under the enchanted tree and
had been turned to stone. After years of waiting, the king finally allowed Don Juan to
look for his brothers and the bird.
Don Juan encountered many dangers before he finally reached Mount Tabor.
There he shared his last piece of bread with an old hermit disguised as a hungry
leper. This act of charity earned for him the help of the hermit who showed him how
to catch the Adarna. With the bird in captivity, Don Juan proceeded to free his
brothers from their enchanted prison.
But on the way home, the elder brothers became envious of Don Juans
achievements and attacked him. Leaving him for dead on the wayside, Don Diego
and Don Pedro went home to present the Ibong Adarna to their ailing father.
The bird would not sing, no matter how much the brothers coaxed it to. The
kings illness was getting worse. When Don Juan returned to the palace, he had
been saved and nursed back to health by some people who had found him dying
along the road. Upon seeing him, the Ibong Adarna burst into song, and the king
was instantly cured of his illness. The bird also sang about the treachery of Don
Pedro and Don Diego. The king was furious and ordered them exiled, but Don Juan
interceded for them and they were then pardoned by their father.

This incident was followed by other adventures and treacherous plots against
Don Juan by his brothers which led Don Juan to different countries until he finally
met Dona Maria whom he married.

PROSE
The prose works of the period consisted mostly of didactic pieces and translations of
religious writings in foreign languages, such as novenas and biographies of saints,
aside from catechetical manuals and the linguistic works of the friar-lexicographers
and grammarians.
Urbana at Feliza by Fr. Modesto de Castro, it is the most important piece of
didactic literature of this period.
-

Published in 1855, it took the form of the epistolary novel with the full title
of Pagsusulatan nang dalauang binibini na si Urbana at Feliza na nagtuturo
ng mabuting caugalian. It is an exchange of letters between two sisters:
Urbana, who is a student in a colegic in Manila, and Feliza, who lives in the
province with their parents. The book constituted a code of conduct for the
time. Urbanas letters are full advice to her sister on proper behavior at
home, in church, at parties, while receiving a suitor in her parlor, and on
other occasions. One letter includes a priests counsel on how to choose a
life partner. The letters contain occasional pointers too, for Honesto, a
younger brother, and explanations of ones duties to God, to his family and
to his community.

An equivalentwork among the Visayans is the Lagda, a compilation of maxims,


possibly written by a native clergyman and first published under the title of
Caton Cristiano. Lagda is an eastern Visayan term which means rule or
straight line, and the rule book became popularly known as such.

THE SHADOW PLAY


-

It is a simple form of dramatic entertainment presented outdoors on dark or


moonless nights.
Moving shadows were projected on a white sheet by holding cardboard
figures before a lighted lamp. The figures were handled by skillful
manipulators who usually accompanied the gestures with the recitation of
the dialogue. The spoken parts were drawn from a corridor, an awit, or
some religious play.
It is called by different names in the different regions.

It is called cartillo (derived from carton, cardboard) in Manila, Rizal,


Batangas and Laguna, titiris in Ilocos Norte, Pangasinan, Bataan, Capiz
and Negros, titiri in Zambales, Gagalu or kikimut in Pampanga and
Tarlac.

THE COMEDIA/MORO-MORO
-

One of the earliest form of stage drama developed in the Philippines,


originated in Spain.
Its main theme: courtly love, usually between a prince and a princess of
different religions one a Christian, and the other a Muslim.
The Moro-Cristiano conflict is resolved in the end, with the victory of the
Christians, thus making it a semi-religious play, a propaganda tool which
was endorsed by the friars.
Page 3
The first comedias staged in the Philippines dramatized the lives of saints.
An important ingredient of the comedia is the batalla, it is a stylized battle,
using the movements of the arnis de mano, performed to the tune of
martial music.
Counted among the well-known comedia playrights are: Jose de la Cruz
(Huseng Sisiw) and his famous pupil, Francisco Baltazar.

THE SAINETE
-

A popular Spanish dramatic form during the 18 th century.


A short musical comedy, which was written in the tradition of the paso and
the extremes, farcical sketches used as advertisements between acts of
longer plays.
It depects scenes from everyday life with rustic or lower-class figures as
characters and had a wide range of themes.

La India Elegante y Negrito Amante (1836) by Francisco Baltazar, the only


extant local example we have of this form.

THE REVOLUTIONARY PERIOD AND ITS WRITERS


The Revolutionary Period had two phases. The first phase , the revolution
against Spain, produced writings mostly in Tagalog and the literary field was
dominated by the key men of the Katipunan, Andres Bonifacio and Emilio Jacinto.
Bonifacio has two outstanding poems in Tagalog aside from his Katapusang
Hibik: Pag-ibig sa Tinubuang Bayan, and Pahimakas, a translation of Rizals farewell
poem. He also wrote Ang Dapat Mabatid nang mga Tagalog and Katungkulang
Gagawin ng Mga Anak ng Bayan.
An ardent revolutionary, Jacinto edited and contributed many articles to
Kalayaan, the organ of the Katipunan. He wrote a series of articles on human rights,

liberty, government, and love of country under the title Liwanag at Dilim. Proficient
in both Tagalog and Spanish, he is also known for A la patria, written in the style of
Rizals Mi Ultimo Adios, A mi madre, a touching ode, and Kartilla ng Katipunan.
The second phase of the Revolution was the Philippine-American War. It was
marked by the appearance of serious essays and political discourses, mostly written
by Apolinario Mabini, The Brains of the Revolution. Mabinis most important
literary work is El Verdadero Decalogo.
Representative Works: Mi Retiro (A mi madre) Jose Rizal
My Retreat translated by Charles Derbyshire

Ug kanunay atong isilsil sa alimpatakan ug galamhan
Maayong gawi o pamatasan huptan alang sa atong kalamposan.
Sa katapusan ako moingon, Daghang salamat kaninyong tanan!

MAAYONG PAMATASAN GIKINAHANGLANG HUPTAN ALANG SA


KALAMPOSAN

Kung ang pagpangayo ug katahoran timaan sa tawong anaay


maayong pamatasan
Mga igsoon togoti ako sa pag-ingon, Maayong gabii kaninyong
tanan!
Kahait sa polong hinagiban nga gipaambit sa salbahis kong amahan
Kay ikaw tawong way batasan halayo kanimo ang kalamposan!.
Kini sama sa ponyal nga migisi ug misamad sa akong dughan
Daw apdo nga mikoyanap sa akong galamhan ug mipikas sa
ganghaan
Sa kasingkasing kong pono sa kahingawa ug karon samdan
Dili ko boot ipiyong ang akong mga mata aron di ko masod-ong ang
iyang hitsura
Apan kay amahan ko siya, maong way honong ang pagtolo sa akong
mga luha.

Nanglabay ang katuigan nagpabilin ang lama sa pagdomot sa akong


dughan
Boot kong dasmagan ug hiloan ang tawo nga maoy hinungdan
Sa kasakit ug pagdomot nga gibati niining akong dughan.
Apan nahuman ang tanan nabati ko na usab ang kasakit sa akong
dughan
Kay ang gipamolong ko nga tawong salbahis nga pagkaamahan
Siya maoy hinungdan karon sa akong kalamposan.
Kay sukad ko niya gisinghagan tungod sa akong pagkawalay batasan
Nahisilsil sa akong alimpatakan ug mitohop sa akong galamhan
Nga gikinahanglan ako magbinootan ug maghupot ug maayong
pamatasan
Tungod ug alang sa pagkab-ot sa akong damgo ug kaangayan.
Togoti ako sa pagpaambit ning mga polong mga higala
Kinotlo gikan sa kinaadman nga gitodlo sa akong amahan
Matood gayud nga lisud makab-ot ang atong mga damgo
Kung sa maayong pamatasan kita wala yamo.
Hinomdomi sa kanunay nga ang kahibalo , kagwapo ug talento
Dili kasigurohan nga ang kalamposan maimo
Ang maayong pagtagad sa atong isigkatawo ug sa atong trabaho
Uban ang paningkamot, pag-ampo ug pagpadayon bisan pa unsay
mahitabo
Ug labaw sa tanan hikalimti ayaw ang PAGBATON UG MAAYONG
PAMATASAN
Kay kini hait nga hinagiban aron maangkon ta ang kalamposan.
Sa katapusan, nagpasalamat ako sa akong amahan ug sa tanang
mga ginikanan
Sa akong mga magtutudlo ug sa tanang katawhan
Daghang salamat sa pagtudlo kanako ug maayong pamatasan.
Maayong gabii, kaninyong tanan!

MAAYONG PAMATASAN GIKINAHANGLANG HUPTAN ALANG SA
KALAMPOSAN

Usa ka maayong pamatasan ang pagpangayo ug katahoran


Maayong gabii, kaninyong tanan!
Mga higala, palihog paminawa kining kabos ug timawa
Mga polong gipanday ubos sa giya sa akong nanay
Ug gitapos pinaagi sa tambag sa akong tatay.

Matod pa sa akong inahan, Sa edukasyon nagsumikad ang


kalamposan.
Mga polong nakat-onan, gisilsil sa akong alimpatakan
Ug kini mitohop sa akong galamhan
Gihimong giya ug inspirasyon aron ako makakat-on.
Apan naglibog pag-ayo ang akong balatian
Nganong damgo ko nahisama sa gugmang way katumanan
Kini ba ang giingon ako natawo sa kapakyasan?
Adunay kahibalo, hitsura ug talento ikapasigarbo
Apan nganong hinikawan, dili man unta ako tapolan.
Ug akong nadiskobrehan pinaagi sa tambag sa akong amahan
Ang paningkamot way kaposlanan kung wala ang maayong gawi o
pamatasan
Mga higala atong timan-an, maayong pamatasan angay huptan
Aron langit makab-ot ug matagamtam ang kalamposan
Kini ang polidong taming aron kita makatayming
Kay ang pagkab-ot sa damgo sama sa mapahitas-ong bongtod
Gikinahanglan ang atong pagyokbo ug pagyangod.
Sa katapusan, togoti ako sa pagpaambit sa mga polong sa akong
amahan
Lisud kab-oton ang mga bitoon ug sa pagkab-ot niini kita sapoton
Kay sa makadaghan kasakit ug kapakyasan atong mahiaguman
Apan kung sa maayong gawi o pamatasan kini inubanan
Siguradong kalamposan atong mabatonan.
Daghang salamat, kaninyong tanan!
