    ABOUT MINDANAO LITERATURE EXAMPLE

    LITERATURE
    BRIEF HISTORY

    Mindanao is named after the


    Maguindanaons, who historically comprised
    the largest Sultanate, and evidence from
    maps made during the 17th and 18th
    centuries suggests that the name was used
    to refer to the island by natives at the time.
    GEOGRAPHY

    Mindanao is known in the Philippines as

    the “Land of Promise.”


    The island consists of regions named
    BARMM, CARAGA, Davao, Northern
    Mindanao, SOCCSKSARGEN, and Zamboanga
    Peninsula.
    Its population consists of 63% Christians, 32%

    Muslims, and 5% affiliated with other religions.


    LANGUAGE

    CEBUANO - generally the native


    language in most regions, except for
    Muslim areas on the west coast and hill
    tribes
    Mandaya Mansaka
    Kalagan Sangirese
    Giangon Obo
    Dibabawon Sarangani
    Tagabawa Hiligaynon
    LITERATURE
    MINDANAO LITERATURE

    Each Muslim cultural community has its own collection of folk literature, which

    typically depicts themes that are unique and peculiar, but are united by Islamic faith.

    Its oral literary forms may be thematic, hortatory, entertaining, instructive, or


    informative.

    Mindanao Muslim folk literature, like that of other Filipino groups that follow oral

    tradition, is rich in folktales, myths, legends, poems, epics, ballads, riddles, and

    proverbs.
    MINDANAO LITERATURE

    Folktales are referred to differently depending on the ethno-linguistic group and place

    of origin:

    Kana-kana (from Jama Mapun and Sama) Tudtol (from Iranon)


    Totol (from Maranao) Oman-oman (from Davaoeños)
    Katakata (from Tausug) Tudtolan (from Maguindanao)
    CHARACTERISTICS

    Every ethnic group has its own way of naming folk literature, such as ballads,

    proverbs, and riddles.


    The majority of ballads are historical in nature, depicting heroic deeds of famous

    people.

    At the moment, Filipinos do not have access to the textual materials of Mindanao's oral

    literature.
    Themes in modern Mindanao literature include war and conflict, the quest for

    peace, social inequality, landlessness, love of one's land, and others.
