21st Century Literature from

the Philippines and the World
 Literature
The word literature is derived from the
Latin term litera which means letter. It
has been defined differently by various
writers.
Pre-Spanish Colonial
Literature
Pre-Spanish colonial literature in the
Philippines refers to the body of oral and
written works produced by the indigenous
peoples of the Philippine archipelago before
the arrival of the Spanish in the 16th
century. It was characterized by folk tales,
the epic age, and folk songs.
Spanish Colonial Literature
When the Spaniards came, there was an
immediate shift on the focus of literature. It
became centered on the Christian faith, and
the stories about natural phenomena suddenly
became all about the lives of saints and other
religious hymns.
OF ENGLIGHTNMENT
In 19th century, Filipino intellectuals educated
in Europe called Ilustrados began to write
about the hitch of colonization.
One of the famous works is
Rizal’s Noli Me Tangere during
the Propaganda Movement
(1872-1896)
The American Regime
Filipino writers went into all forms of
literature like news reporting, poetry,
stories, plays, essays and novels.
the languages used in writing were Spanish
and Tagalog and the dialects of the
different regions. But the writers in
Tagalog, continued in their lamentations on
the conditions of the country and their
attempts to arouse love for one’s native
tongue and the writers in the English
imitated the themes and methods of the
Americans.
THE
period
Philippine Literature was interrupted in its
development when another foreign country, japan,
conquered the Philippines betweem 1941-1945.
Philippine literature in English came to a halt.
Filipino Poetry during this period
The common theme of most poems during the
Japanese occupation was nationalism, country,
love, and life in the barrios, faith, religion, and
the arts.
three types of poems emerged during this period:

PERIOD OF ACTIVISM
According to Pociano Pineda, youth activism in 1970-
72 was due to domestic and worldwide causes.
Activism is connected with the history of our
Filipino youth.
Many young activists were imprisoned in military
camps together with rebel writers. As early as the
period of history we can say that many of those
writers who were imprisoned were true
nationalists and heroes of their time.
