    21ST CENTURY LITERATURE FROM THE

    PHILIPPINES AND THE WORLD


    PERFRMANCE TASK #2
    PATRICK R, MATUBAY
    12-STEM 1A
    The Spanish Period (1565-1898) was believed to have started during the time of Miguel Lopez de Legazpi, the
    first Governor-General in the Philippines. He was responsible for establishing peace with various indigenous
    tribes. During his time, many changes happened to the Filipinos. Literature, religion, lifestyles, societal classes
    and the like was taken into the Philippines.
    Regarding Philippine literature, the Spaniards have exerted a strong influence using their own literature. The
    first Filipino alphabet called the ALIBATA was replaced by the Roman alphabet. Before the Spanish came into
    the Philippines, the religions were Hinduism, Buddhism and Paganism. The Christian Doctrine was the main
    religion brought in by the Spaniards. The Philippines had a very diverse collection of languages, but the
    Spanish language was mixed into them. European legends and traditions were also mixed in to our own.
    Ancient literature was collected and translated into the different dialects in the Philippines. Their grammar
    books were also translated in the Philippine language. Most of the periodicals during this time had a religious
    feel or bias to them.

    There have been several books that have been made during the Spanish period. The first one is the Christian
    Doctrine this was the first book printed in the Philippines in 1593 in xylography. It was written by Fr. Juan de
    Placencia and Fr. Domingo Nieva, in Tagalog and Spanish. It contained the Pater Noster (Out Father), Ave
    Maria (Hail Mary), Regina Coeli (Hail Holy Queen), and the Ten Commandments of God, the Commandments
    of the Catholic Church, the Seven Mortal Sins, How to confess, and the Cathecism. Three old original copies of
    this book can still be found at the Vatican, at the Madrid Musem and at the US Congress. It contains only 87
    pages but costs $5,000.0. Second, the Nuestra Señora del Rosario this is the second book printed in the
    Philippines was written by Fr. Blancas de San Jose in 1602, and printed at the UST Printing Press with the
    help of Juan de Vera, a Chinese mestizo. It contains the biographies of saints, novenas, and questions and
    answers on religion. Third the Libro de los Cuatro Postprimeras de Hombre (in Spanish and Tagalog) this is
    the first book printed in typography. Fourth, Ang Barlaan at Josephat this is a Biblical story printed in the
    Philippines and translated to Tagalog from Greek by Fr. Antonio de Borja. It is believed to be the first Tagalog
    novel published in the Philippines even if it is only a translation. The printed translation has only 556 pages.
    The Ilocano translation in poetry was done by Fr. Agustin Mejia. Fifth, the Pasion this is the book about the life
    and sufferings of Jesus Christ. It is read only during Lent. There were 4 versions of this in Tagalog and each
    version is according to the name of the writer. These are the Pilapil version (by Mariano Pilapil of Bulacan,
    1814), the de Belen version (by Gaspar Aquino de Belen of Bat. in 1704), the de la Merced (by Aniceto de la
    Merced of Norzagaray, Bulacan in 1856) and the de Guia version (by Luis de Guia in 1750). Critics are not
    agreed whether it is the Pilapil or the de la Merced version which is the most popular. Sixth, the Urbana at
    Felisa this book by Modesto de Castro, the so called Father of Classic Prose in Tagalog. These are letters
    between two sisters Urbana at Felisa and have influenced greatly the behavior of people in society because
    the letters dealt with good behavior. Last, Ang Mga Dalit kay Maria (Psalms for Mary) the collection of songs
    praising the Virgin Mary. Fr. Mariano Sevilla, a Filipino priest, wrote this in 1865 and it was popular especially
    during the Maytime “Flores de Mayo” festival.
    This is the literature during the Spanish period; the Folk songs became widespread in the Philippines. Each
    region had its national song from the lowlands to the mountains of Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao. Folk songs
    truly manifest the artistic feelings of the Filipinos. They show the Filipinos’ innate appreciation for and love of
    beauty. The examples are Leron-Leron Sinta, Pamulinawen, Dandansoy, Sarong Banggi and Atin Cu Pung
    Singsing. There are also many recreational plays performed by Filipinos during the Spanish times. Almost all of
    them were in poetic form. Here are examples: Tibag, Lagaylay, The Cenaculo, Panunuluyan, The Salubong (or
    Panubong), Carillo (Shadow Play), The Zarzuela, and The Sainete.
