WHAT’S IN

During the Spanish period, they successfully colonized the Philippines for more than 300
years, having evangelization as its main trust. On the other hand, in the American period, the
public school system became a necessary tool for popularizing democracy in our country,
training Filipinos for citizenship, and embracing the English language. Lastly, the Japanese
period failed to gain the trust of Filipinos and only lasted for less than 5 years.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED

Colonial periods are divided into three: Spanish, American, and Japanese. The 1) Spaniards
are the longest ruling colonizers who used both language and religion as its weapon. Spanish
colonizers introduced 2) Christianity among Filipinos through exposure to various religious
texts that aim to teach Christian values and morality Government was mostly ruled by
Spaniards. Although, 3) education was allowed during the latter part, but it was considered
as a privilege and for private concern only. During the Revolutionary Period, 4) Nationalistic
texts flourished. There was а emphasis on 5) Education and 6) Citizenship during the reign
of American colonizers. Patriotism and nationalism were still the common topics or subjects
of literature. 7) Short stories using English language flourished while 8) Novels and plays
became less popular because of foreign films. 9) Japanese period was the shortest among
the three. Nationalism and solidarity were still the favorite topics but forbidden at the same
time. Tagalog short stories flourished since 10) English language was banned. Inculcating
Eastern values among Filipinos was not that successful since Filipinos continued to resist
until its period of sovereignty in 1945.

WHAT I CAN DO

A. If I go back in the past and change one thing, I will go back to the American period.
During the American period, there were a lot of changes in the Philippines, like the
education system. America established schools and they bring education to us. They
thought we could read, write, and speak English fluently. I want to go back to this
period because I want to learn a lot of things during this era and help those people that
need help in terms of knowledge of English.
B. I will focus on strengthening the rights of every Filipino. Filipino culture, now
degraded by its own government, By strengthening our rights, we will be able to
speak out about all our problems, suggestions, and thoughts. This will help us get fair
treatment. We will use our rights as our weapon against our government, and with the
use of social media now, we can't tell all of our thoughts, suggestions, and problems.
If we can build a strong organization and if we are one in this thing, then we can build
a better future.

1. Reading, assessing, and critiquing a literary work's theme, style, use of figurative and
non-figurative language, and other elements are all part of literacy appreciation.
2. Their writings are on how three separate countries colonized them.
3. The presentation of the Philippines' literate and built cultural legacy has been
influenced by the country's colonial history.
4. Despite the fact that colonialism is usually seen as a relic of the past, around 2 million
people live in 16 "non-self-governing areas" around the world under virtual colonial
domination. Although colonies are no longer common, non-self-governing territories,
as defined by the United Nations, exist. The Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and the
British Virgin Islands appear to represent only a few instances.
5. Although there are differences between modern and contemporary literature, or
traditional and 21st literature, there is still a commonality between the two when
comparing the two. Because they are both genres of literature, they address something
universal about the human condition, whether it be love, war, betrayal, respect,
goodness, or justice, regardless of the age. Every work of literature captures a moment
in time in the lives of people.
