    During the precolonial period in the Philippines, the most common literary forms were oral traditions, beliefs systems, riddles (bugtong), proverbs, and epics or songs. These forms were prevalent because they exhibited aspects of culture, served didactic functions, and followed narrative structures like Joseph Campbell's "hero's journey." Specific epics from this time included Hinilawod from Panay and Berinareu from the Teduray people, which were salvation stories that did not distinctly separate religion from other parts of life. Myths were used to express and codify beliefs, enforce morality through instructional lessons, and follow the monomyth pattern of Campbell's hero's journey archetype.
