    1. Pre-Spanish Literature is characterized by Legends, Folk Tales, The Epic Age, and Folk Songs.
    - Folk Songs and Folk Tales emerged mainly from pre-Spanish writings. This oldest form of Literature also dealt with
    stories of The Epic Age.

    2. The Propaganda Movement (1872-1896) was spearheaded mostly by the intellectual middle-class like Jose Rizal,
    Marcelo del Pilar, Graciano Lopez Jaena, Antonio Luna, Mariano Ponce, Jose Ma. Panganiban and Pedro Paterno.
    - During conducting the Propaganda Movement, among a group of middle-class intellectuals, the three best leaders who
    emerged were Jose Rizal, the famous journalist Marcelo del Pilar, and Lopez Jaena.

    3. In the American Regime, Americans influenced Filipino writers to write using the English language. English as a
    medium of instruction was introduced in the schools as the intellectual language of education.
    - In the American Regime, it was mandatory to use English for writing, teaching and instructing. This statement is true.

    4. In the Period of Activism, campus newspapers were written to show their protest. They held pens and wrote on
    placards in red paint the equivalent of the word MAKIBAKA (To dare!).
    - Gradually the people entered into the Period of Activism. In this period, most newspapers and reports were written to
    showcase and encourage protest.

    5. Period of the New Society poems dealt with patience, regard for native culture, customs, and the beauties of nature
    and surroundings.
    - After the Period of Activism, the Filipino people welcomed the New Society. Here the poets and authors were patient
    about using their words for encouraging their traditions, and native customs, and embrace nature.

    6. The period of the Third Republic was romantic and revolutionary


    - The Third Republic Period introduced poems and writings that were fiercely revolutionary. This period was solely for
    the romantics and revolutionaries. Authors and poets no longer were scared to criticize the policies of the government.

    7. Post EDSA I noticed in the new Filipino songs, in the newspapers, in the speeches, and even in the television
    programs.
    - Post EDSA it became clear through various newspapers, and Filipino songs, that the common people had got back
    their lost freedom.
