    Literature production involves expressing thoughts and feelings through written language to convey emotions, experiences, and concepts. Understanding an author's background provides important context to appreciate their work. Historically, early Philippine literature was oral and varied between linguistic groups. During Spanish colonization, literature became highly church-oriented as the Spanish introduced Christianity and the Roman alphabet. While the Spanish language never became dominant, it was used by the elite. Common literary forms during this period included poetry, especially religious pasyon, and dramas depicting biblical stories and festivals. The propagation movement and revolutionary period marked shifts toward expressing Filipino identity and advocating independence.
