    LESSON 1: GEOGRAPHIC, LINGUISTIC AND ETHNIC DIMENSIONS OF PHILIPPINE LITERARY FROM PRE-

    COLONIAL TO CONTEMPORARY AND REPRESENTATIVE TEXTS FROM THE REGIONS

    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.

    • 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.

    • 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.

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

    o Some of Del Pilar’s writings: Pagibig sa Tinubuang Lupa (Love of Country), Kaingat Kayo
    (Be Careful), and Dasalan at Tocsohan (Prayers and Jokes).
    o 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.

    o 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.

    o 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.
    The country’s rich repertoire of literary masterpieces may be rooted in the diverse cultural heritage of the
    Filipino people. They have produced varied texts because of differences. The mighty roar of the North and
    the fiery temperament of the South blended well. The Filipinos speak of the collective experiences from
    the people who have gone through difficulties, triumphs, struggles, successes, armed conflicts, bloodless
    revolutions, and others. It is the reason why these masterpieces resonated loud and clear in the Philippine
    archipelago.

    A TASTE OF PHILIPPINE POETRY


    Located in the northwest of Luzon, the Ilocos Region or Region 1 is comprised of four provinces, namely:
    Ilocos Norte, Ilocos Sur, La Union, and Pangasinan. It is bordered to the west by the turbulent South China
    Sea, to the east by the Cordillera Administrative Region, the northeast and southeast by Cagayan Valley
    and the South by Central Luzon. Most of the inhabitants of the Ilocano homeland are concentrated along
    a narrow coastal plain. Because of geographical boundaries, these people often experience heavy rains
    and violent typhoons, especially during rainy seasons.

    The region, then, takes pride in long stretches of white sand and clear waters alongside its rich cultural
    heritage. What you are about to read is a poem written by a Carlos Palanca Memorial Awardee in Poetry
    in 1964, Carlos A. Angeles. His collection of poems entitled, Stun of Jewels, also bagged him the Republic
    Cultural Heritage Award in Literature in the same year.

    A MOMENT OF SILENCE

    Gabu
    by Carlos A. Angeles
    The battering restlessness of the sea And neutral where the sea has beached its
    Insists a tidal fury upon the beach brine,
    At Gabu, and its pure consistency Where the spilt salt of its heart lies spread
    Havos the wasteland hard within its reach. Among the dark habiliments of Time. The vital
    Brutal the daylong bashing of its heart Against splendor misses. For here, here
    the seascape where, for miles around, At Gabu where the ageless tide recurs All
    Farther than sight itself, the rockstones part things forfeited are most loved and dear.
    And drop into the elemental wound. It is the sea pursues a habit of shores.
    The waste of centuries is grey and dead

    Gabu depicts a coastline in Ilocos that is constantly experiencing the battering restlessness of the sea. The
    water that comes back to the shore seems furious and ruthless with its daylong bashing, which havocs
    the wasteland. Being an archipelagic country, the Philippines knows the importance of water and the sea.

    A TASTE OF TAGALOG ESSAY


    More popularly known now as the CALABARZON referring to the provinces of Cavite, Laguna, Batangas,
    Rizal, and Quezon, Region IV-A is home to Tagalogspeaking people in the Philippines. Recognized all over
    the country for their bravery and fearlessness in battles, CALABARZON has participated actively in the
    country’s fight for freedom and democracy. It is home to many Philippine heroes foremost, and among
    them are Rizal of Laguna, Mabini of Batangas, and Aguinaldo of Cavite.

    A TASTE OF CREATIVE NONFICTION

    The island of Visayas is one of the major geographical divisions in the Philippines, the other two being
    Luzon and Mindanao. It is divided into Western, Central, and Eastern Visayas. The Visayas region is
    comprised of several islands circling the Visayan Sea. Its people, therefore, share a sea-based culture and
    tradition that may be rooted in a strong religious foundation.

    The dwelling place of many festivals such as the Ati-Atihan, Di-nagyang, Sinulog, Pintados, and Maskara,
    the Visayas may indeed be considered as one of the cradles of Philippine civilization.
