Introduction
Philippine
Literature is a diverse and rich group of works that has evolved
side-by-side with the country’s history. Literature had started with fables and
legends made by the ancient Filipinos long before the arrival of Spanish
influence. The main themes of Philippine literature focus on the country’s
pre-colonial cultural traditions and the socio-political histories of its
colonial and contemporary traditions.
Literature
is a term used to describe written or spoken material. Broadly speaking,
"literature" is used to describe anything from creative writing to
more technical or scientific works, but the term is most commonly used to refer
to works of the creative imagination, including works of poetry, drama, fiction,
and nonfiction.
Philippine literature had evolved much before colonization. It is full of legends and tales of colonial legacy. Mexican and Spanish dominance over the land and the people, over varying periods of time, witnessed the incorporation of English, Spanish, Filipino and native languages, to express ideology and opinion. Literature in the Philippines developed much later than in most other countries. Evidence reveals the use of a script called Baybayin that flourished in 1521. Baybayin was used to write about legends, in Luzon, during Spaniard domination
