    LESSONS FROM BRIGHTSPACE


     When the Spaniards came, there was an immediate shift on the focus of literature. It
    became centered on the Christian faith, and the stories about natural phenomena
    suddenly became all about the lives of saints and other religious hymns. Slowly,
    Philippine literature started to emulate the traditional Spanish ways of themes and forms
    in writing, including the repetitive plots and obvious shadowy characters. Despite these
    changes, Filipino still found a way to make Spanish literature their own, as shown
    through these common kinds:
     Corrido- a legendary religious narrative form that usually details the lives of
    saints or the history of a tradition.
     Awit- a chivalric poem about a hero, usually about saint; also usually sung and
    used in religious processions
     Pasyon-a narrative poem about the life of Jesus Christ. This is usually sung
    during the Lenten season. Many women were trained before to perform the
    Pasyon. Nowadays, it is sung by seasoned performers in churches nationwide.
     Cenaculo- the dramatization of the passion of Christ. It highlights the sufferings
    and death of Jesus Christ, and it is also done during Lenten season.
     Moro-moro or Comedia de capa y espada- is a blood-and-thunder melodrama
    depicting the conflict of Christian and Muslims. It is usually about battles to the
    death and the proofs of faith
     Carillo- a play that uses shadows as its main spectacles. This is created by
    animating figures made from cardboard, which are projected onto a white screen.
     Tibag-is the dramatic reenactment of St. Helena’s search for the Holy Cross.
     Duplo or Karagatan- are native dramas that are connected to Catholic mourning
    rituals and harvest celebrations.
    Zarzuela- is probably one of the most famous forms of entertainment back in Spanish
    era. These are musical comedies or melodramas that deal with the elemental passion of
    human rights.
