21ST Lesson 1

Here are a few key differences between reading long-form literature versus social media posts: - Literature allows for deeper immersion and exploration of complex ideas/themes. Social media is often brief and superficial. - Novels and stories develop complex characters and plotlines over many pages, allowing readers to connect with and care about characters in a deeper way. - Reading literature exercises different cognitive skills like sustained attention, visualization, and critical analysis compared to scanning short snippets online. - Literature has lasting cultural and artistic value as it is passed down through generations. Much social media is ephemeral. - Reading literature can cultivate empathy, wisdom and provide an escape from the real world. Social media often focuses on the present moment

COLONIZERS
“Philippine literature” evolved in relation to our historical
experience. It is now commonplace, for instance, to explain the
emergence of Jose Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere as a reaction to our
experience of colonial oppression during the Spanish occupation.
This notion of literature’s embeddedness in history as a set of
events undermined the claim that literature is the product of the
writer’s creativity, and the authorial intention is the most reliable
guide for the interpretation of the literary work.
PONDER ON!

Have you read any local literary works?


Do you know any Filipino writers, those
who are veterans?
Do you know any texts or writers from your
region?
Are you familiar with your ethnicity?
PAUSE AND THINK

We all know that our province belong to


Region III, but are you familiar with other
regions? Look at the sample map of our
country and try to include two provinces
from each region.

Each region that you filled with the names of their
provinces means you are familiar how diverse our
country is. Best writers from our country came from the
different region, they talked about the tradition they have
in their region/town/province. By writing, they are
sharing what they have and the best places to visit when
you are going there. Our country has a total of 182 living
languages. With these languages our ancestors
communicated, built their communities, and created
unique cultural products.

THE SPANISH COLONIAL TRADITION

 Literature in this period may be classified as religious prose and poetry and
secular prose and poetry.
 Religious lyrics written by ladino poets or those versed in both Spanish and
Tagalog were included in early catechism and were used to teach Filipinos the
Spanish language.
 Fernando Bagonbanta’s “Salamat nang walang hanga/gracias de sin
sempiternas” (Unending thanks) is a fine example that is found in the Memorial
de la vida cristiana en lengua tagala (Guidelines for the Christian life in the
Tagalog language) published in 1605.
Secular works appeared alongside historical and economic changes, the
emergence of an opulent class and the middle class who could avail of a
European education. This Filipino elite could now read printed works that used
to be the exclusive domain of the missionaries. The winds of change began to
blow in 19th century Philippines. Filipino intellectuals educated in Europe
called ”ilustrados” began to write about the downside of colonization. This,
coupled with the simmering calls for reforms by the masses gathered a
formidable force of writers like Jose Rizal, Marcelo H. del Pilar, Mariano
Ponce, Emilio Jacinto and Andres Bonifacio.

Filipino writers continue to write poetry, short stories, novellas,

gender/ethnic related or are personal in intention or not. The
government led in reviving old plays and dramas, like the
