    Geographic, Linguistic and

    Ethnic Dimensions of Philippine


    Literary History from Pre-
    Colonial to the Contemporary.
    After going through this module, you are expected to:

    • 1. Identify geographic, linguistic, and ethnic dimensions of


    Philippine literary history from pre-colonial to
    contemporary and representative texts from the regions.
    • 2. Write a close analysis and critical interpretation of
    literary texts.
    • 3. Show a sense of adaptability of the Philippine Literary
    History
    What’s In

    • 1. What do you know about the different Literary Periods


    in Philippine Literature?
    • 2. What are the essential elements of the literary pieces
    under different periods of literature?
    Think About This!

    • Our forefathers already had their literature, which


    reflected in their customs and traditions.
    • They had their alphabet even before they had colonized.
    • The Spanish friars burned their alphabet in the belief that
    they were works of the devil or were written on materials
    that quickly perished, like the barks of trees, dried leaves,
    and bamboo cylinders, which could not have remained
    firm even if efforts were made to preserve them.
    • Our unique geographic location is the reason why we are
    rich.
    PRE-SPANISH LITERATURE - is characterized by:
    • Folk tales. These are made up of stories about life, adventure,
    love, horror, and humor where one can derive lessons.
    An example of this is THE MOON AND THE SUN.
    • The Epic Age. Epics are long narrative poems in which a
    series of heroic achievements or events, usually of a hero, are
    dealt with at length. ex.Biag ni Lam-ang-Ilokano epic
    • Folk Songs. These are one of the oldest forms of Philippine
    literature that emerged in the pre-Spanish period. These songs
    mirrored the early forms of culture. Many of these have 12
    syllables. Examples of which are Kundiman, Kumintang o
    Tagumpay, Ang Dalit o Imno, Ang Oyayi o Hele, Diana,
    Soliraning and Talindaw
    Understanding Literary History

    • Literature in this period may be classified as religious


    prose and poetry and secular prose and poetry.

    • Spanish Influences On Philippine Literature


    • The first Filipino alphabet, called ALIBATA, was replaced
    by the Roman alphabet. Also, the teaching of the
    Christian Doctrine became the basis of religious
    practices. European legends and traditions brought here
    became assimilated in our songs, corridos, and moro-
    moros.
    ALIBATA ROMAN
    • Folk Songs
    • It manifests the artistic feelings of the Filipinos and shows their
    innate appreciation for and love of beauty. The examples are
    Leron-Leron Sinta, Pamulinawen, Dandansoy, Sarong Banggi,
    and Atin Cu Pung Sing-sing.

    • Recreational Plays
    • There were many recreational plays performed by Filipinos
    during the Spanish times. Almost all of them were in a poetic
    form such Cenaculo, Panunuluyan, Salubong and Zarzuela.
    PERIOD OF ENLIGHTENMENT (1972- 1898)

    • In 19th Century, Filipino intellectuals educated in Europe


    called Ilustrados began to write about the hitch of
    colonization.

    The Propaganda Movement (1872-1896) - This movement


    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.
    • Some of Rizal’s writings: Noli Me Tangere, Mi Ultimo Adios,
    Sobre La Indolencia Delos Filipinos and Filipinas Dentro De
    Cien Aňos.

    • Some of Del Pilar’s writings: Pagibig sa Tinubuang Lupa


    (Love of Country), Kaingat Kayo (Be Careful), and Dasalan at
    Tocsohan (Prayers and Jokes).

    • Some of Jaena’s writings: Ang Fray Botod, La Hija Del Fraile


    (The Child of the Friar), and Everything Is Hambug (Everything
    is mere show), Sa Mga Pilipino...1891), and Talumpating
    Pagunita Kay Kolumbus (An Oration to Commemorate
    Columbus).
    THE AMERICAN REGIME (1898-1944)

    • Linguistically, Americans influenced Filipino writers to


    write using English language. Jose Garcia Villa became
    famous for his free verse.
    Characteristics of Literature during this period:
    • The languages used in writing were Spanish and Tagalog
    and the dialects of the different regions. But the writers in
    Tagalog, continued in their lamentations on the conditions
    of the country and their attempts to arouse love for one’s
    native tongue and the writers in English imitated the
    themes and methods of the Americans.
    THE JAPANESE PERIOD (1941-1945)
    • Philippine Literature was interrupted in its development when another
    foreign country, Japan, conquered the Philippines between1941-1945.
    Philippine literature in English came to a halt. This led to all newspapers
    not to be circulated in the community except for TRIBUNE and
    PHILIPPINE REVIEW.
    Filipino Poetry during this period
    • The common theme of most poems during the Japanese occupation was
    nationalism, country, love, and life in the barrios, faith, religion, and the
    arts.
    • Three types of poems emerged during this period:
    • a. Haiku , a poem of free verse that the Japanese like. It was made up of
    17 syllables divided into three lines and
    • b. Tanaga – like the Haiku, is short, but it had measure and rhyme.
    • c. Karaniwang Anyo (Usual Form)
    PHILIPPINE LITERATURE IN ENGLISH (1941-1945)

    • Because of the strict prohibitions imposed by the


    Japanese in the writing and publishing of works in
    English, Philippine literature in English experienced a dark
    period. For the first twenty years, many books were
    published both in Filipino and in English.
    • In the New Filipino Literature, Philippine literature in
    Tagalog was revived during this period. Most themes in
    the writings dealt with Japanese brutalities, the poverty of
    life under the Japanese government, and the brave
    guerilla exploits.
    PERIOD OF ACTIVISM (1970-1972)
    • According to Pociano Pineda, youth activism in 1970-72
    was due to domestic and worldwide causes. Because of
    the ills of society, the youth moved to seek reforms.

    The Literary Revolution


    • The youth became vocal with their sentiments. They
    demanded a change in the government. It was manifested
    in the bloody demonstrations and the sidewalk
    expressions and also in literature.
    PERIOD OF THE NEW SOCIETY (1972- 1980)

    • The period of the New Society started on September 21,


    1972. The Carlos Palanca Awards continued to give
    annual awards. Poems dealt with patience, regard for
    native culture, customs, and the beauties of nature and
    surroundings. Newspapers donned new forms.
    • News on economic progress, discipline, culture, tourism,
    and the like were favored more than the sensationalized
    reporting of killings, rape, and robberies. Filipinos before
    were hooked in reading magazines and comics.
    PERIOD OF THE THIRD REPUBLIC (1981-1985)

    • After ten years of military rule and some changes in the


    life of the Filipino, which started under the New Society,
    Martial Rule was at last lifted on January 2, 1981. The
    Philippines became a new nation, and this, former
    President Marcos called “The New Republic of the
    Philippines.” Poems during this period of the Third
    Republic were romantic and revolutionary. Many Filipino
    songs dealt with themes that were true-to-life like those of
    grief, poverty, aspirations for freedom, love of God, of
    country and fellowmen.
    POST-EDSA 1 REVOLUTION (1986-1995)

    • History took another twist. Once more, the Filipino people


    regained their independence, which they lost twenty years
    ago. In four days from February 21-25, 1986, the so-
    called People Power (Lakas ng Bayan) prevailed. In the
    short span of the existence of the real Republic of the
    Philippines, several changes already became evident. It
    was noticed in the new Filipino songs, newspapers,
    speeches, and even in the television programs. The now
    crony newspapers that enjoyed an overnight increase in
    circulation were THE INQUIRER, MALAYA, and the
    PEOPLE’S JOURNAL.
    21st CENTURY PERIOD
    • The new trends have been
    used and introduced to
    meet the needs and tastes
    of the new generation.
    21st Century learners are
    demanded to be ICT
    inclined to compete with
    the style and format of
    writing as well. New codes
    or lingos are used to add
    flavor in the literary pieces
    produced nowadays.
