In his article, Isagani Cruz criticized the use of criticism by Filipinos which are patterned after Western theorists. According to Cruz, “Philippine literature is still heavily untheorized.” That is, Philippine literature is still muted in the world of literary theories. Cruz provided us the possible reasons which are either “the decentering of literary theory within the Philippine literary community or the marginalization of Literary Orientalism within Anglo-American academic discourse.”
