THIS PERIOD
Philippines literature in Tagalog was revived during this period.

Most themes in the writings dealt with Japanese brutalities, of
the poverty of life under the Japanese government and the brave
guerilla exploits.
Newspapers and magazine publications were re-

opened like the Bulaklak, Liwayway, Ilang Ilang
and Sinag Tala. Tagalog poetry acquired not only
rhyme but substance and meaning. Short stories
had better characters and events based on facts
and realities and themes were more meaningful.
Novels became common but were still read by the
people for recreation.
