    PHILIPPINE LITERATURE DURING THE AMERICAN PERIOD
    (1910-1941)
    Vacation days at last are here,
    And we have time for fun so dear,
    All boys and girls do gladly cheer,
    This welcomed season of the year.
    In early June in school we’ll meet;
    A harder task shall we complete
    And if we fail we must repeat
    That self same task without retreat.
    We simply rest to come again
    To school where boys and girls obtain
    The Creator’s gift to men
    Whose sanguine hopes in us remain.
    Vacation means a time for play
    For young and old in night and day
    My wish for all is to be gay,
    And evil none lead you astray
                            – Juan F. Salazar   
    Philippines Free Press, May 9, 1909

    with the proliferation of writers’ workshops here and
    abroad.

    tertiary schools in the country emphasizing the teaching of the vernacular literature or literature of the
    regions started what we now know as the 21st Century Literature.
