    Key Takeaways

    Pre-Colonization - Oral and written literatures were present in our culture even before colonizers came. We had our own alphabet
    that our Malayan ancestors used. The written literary forms did not last because of the materials used such as: 1) leaves, 2) bamboo
    canes, and 3) the ground. Such materials did not last long because of its organic composition. But the oral literature continued by word
    of mouth like 1) riddles, 2) proverbs, 3) folksongs and folktales, 4) myths and legends, etc.
    The way our ancestors lived during the early days is evident in the contents of these literary forms. Work and activity songs
    described how people earn their livelihood like farming, fishing, pottery and a lot more. An example is the popular song by the
    Tagalogs-―Magtanim ay di Biro‖ (Planting Rice is Never Fun).
    Riddles are generally poetic in form and come in one, two, three or four lines. During the pre-colonial period, riddles serve as a
    form of folk speech and are about the battle of the wits. Riddles use one or more images to refer to an object to be guessed. The use of
    obscure words has been invented for the purposes of rhyme and meter. 8 Very often, obscure or vague words appear as proper
    names, fictitious names of animals, also to meet the need of rhyme. Sometimes the riddle may be in the form of a direct question.
    These riddles are called is tigmo in Cebuano, bugtong in Tagalog, paktakon in Ilongo and patototdon in Bicol. One prominent element
    present in riddles is the use of a metaphor. Riddles describe something by comparing it to another that has no significant relation to it
    but has similarities. Then anyone can try guessing what the thing being described is. What are metaphors?
    Metaphor-is a figure of speech that uses direct comparison of two unlike things or ideas without using the words ―like‖ or ―as‖.
    Example: Dear Lord: Let thou be the street cleaner Whilst I be the road (Prayer by NVM Gonzales) In the example above, the Lord is
    being compared a street cleaner and the one praying compared himself to the road.
