    Philippine Literature

    from Pre-colonial
    Times
    Marla L. Gratil
    Philippine Literature (Pre-colonial
    Period)
    refers to the oral and written traditions of the indigenous
    people of the Philippines prior to the arrival of European
    colonizers in the 16th century

    This rich literary heritage consists of various forms of oral


    narratives, chants, songs, and rituals that were passed down
    through generations.
    Whoa!
    Eme!
    Features of Pre-Colonial
    Philippine Literature
    Oral Tradition
    Most pre-colonial Philippine literature was transmitted orally, with
    knowledge and stories being passed down from one generation to
    the next through storytelling, chants, and songs.
    Nature and Ancestry

    Many pre-colonial narratives were deeply rooted in the natural


    environment and ancestral heritage. These narratives often
    explained the origins of natural phenomena, animals, and plants,
    as well as the genealogies of different communities.
    Oral Epics

    Pre-colonial literature featured epic narratives that celebrated heroic


    deeds, valor, and cultural values. These epics were performed during
    rituals, gatherings, and special occasions, and they provided a sense
    of identity and shared history for the community.
    Rituals and Ceremonies

    Literature was closely intertwined with rituals, ceremonies, and


    everyday life. Chants and songs were used in various rituals, such
    as agricultural practices, healing ceremonies, and rites of passage.
    Myths
    traditional stories that explain the origins of natural phenomena,
    cultural practices, and the world itself. These stories often involve
    gods, supernatural beings, and the interactions between humans and
    the divine.

    One example is the creation myth of the Tagalog people, which


    involves the deities Bathala, Mayari, and Tala.
    Legends
    narratives that may be based on historical events, real people, or
    supernatural occurrences. They often carry moral lessons or reflect
    societal values.

    A well-known example is the legend of "Mariang Makiling," a kind


    and enchanting fairy guardian of Mount Makiling in Luzon
    Epics

    long narrative poems that recount the heroic exploits of legendary


    figures. These figures often possess superhuman abilities and
    undertake quests or battles.

    An example is the "Hinilawod," an epic from the Panay region that


    features the adventures of three heroes: Labaw Donggon,
    Humadapnon, and Dumalapdap
    Bidasari- Moro Epic
    Biag-ni-Lam-Ang – ilokano epic
    Maragtas- Visayan epic
    Haraya- Visayan epic
    Lagda- Visayan epic
    Hari sa Bukid- Visayan epic
    Kumintang- Tagalog epic
    Parang Sabir- Moro epic
    “Dagoy” at “Sudsod” – Tagbanua epic
    LO-AS

    a folk tradition that mirrors the Ilonggo’s folks creative or poetic


    intuition

    It encapsulates in a single form the workings of the creative mind of


    the Ilonggo folks or the common tao- the ordinary souls that one may
    meet in his daily existence; housewives, farmers, “istmabays”, laborers
    and even students
    Lo-as reveals the Ilonggo’s closeness to nature and
    things around them.

    The Ilonggo mind’s knack for catching sights and


    sounds from his immediate world embellishes lo-
    a with an abundance of picturesque words and
    utterances.
    examples
    1. rosas, rosas nga kamatigue
    2. Soltero nga waay nobya, agi
    3. Bulak, bulak sang tangkong
    4. Dalaga nga wala sang nobyo, bingkong
    5. Tapakan ko central, gupi
    6. Guwa kalamay, puti
    7. Didto sa bohol
    8. May isa ka lalaki nga manol
    9. Panawag sa kasilyas, City Hall
    However, it is more than just words and
    sounds. The assemblage of words and sounds,
    arranged into logical directions and
    connections, make lo-a act and will
    something
