    The evolution of Philippine literature depended on colonization and the spirit of the times. Early forms of literature included riddles called bugtong, short sayings called salawikain that conveyed hidden meanings and values, and poems called tanaga consisting of quatrains with 7 syllables in each line and the same rhyme. Oral traditions included chants used in witchcraft and balagtasan, a form of debate in verse named after poet Francisco Balagtas. The Alibata was the first Philippine alphabet later replaced by the Roman alphabet, marking the transition to written literature.
