    Activity: Historical Background of Philippine Literature

    I. Direction: Read in advance the history of Philippine Literature and tell us how
    our literature evolves in the following periods.

    1. Pre-colonial Period - Pre-Hispanic Philippine literature was actually


    epics passed on from generation to generation, originally through an
    oral tradition. However, wealthy families, especially in Mindanao,
    were able to keep transcribed copies of these epics as family
    heirloom. One such was the Darangen, an epic of the Maranaos.
    2. Spanish Colonization Period - Philippine literature was born in Spanish.
    There had been a rich literary tradition in the islands before the
    Spaniards arrived but it was the Spanish who started to publish
    those tales and stories. The works of Rizal, the best-known Filipino
    writer and national hero, are a result of this inter-cultural process.
    3. Nationalistic/Propaganda and Revolutionary Period - This period marked
    the beginning of the awakening of our sense of nationalism. The
    seeds of liberty, equality, and fraternity are well starting to
    germinate from the many failures experienced by the early waves of
    armed insurrections which were largely self-contained, isolated and
    doomed from the start.
    4. American Colonial Period - American period is one of the turning points
    which made our Philippine literary tradition colorful and
    interesting. This period saw the addition of a colorful language, the
    English language, as an indispensable tool for literature and
    communication.
    5. Japanese Occupation - During the Japanese period, Philippine
    Literature in English was stopped and writers turned to writing in
    Filipino. The Japanese authorities, with extreme hate to the
    Americans, did their best to turn the Filipinos' sympathy away from
    them. They rewarded handsomely the Filipinos who are faithful to
    them.
    6. Contemporary/Modern Period - he diversity and richness of Philippine
    literature evolved side by side with the country's history. This can
    best be appreciated in the context of the country's pre-colonial
    cultural traditions and the socio-political histories of its colonial
    and contemporary traditions.
