    The history of Philippine literature spans several periods defined by shifts in colonial rule, beginning with folktales, myths, and legends in pre-colonial times. During Spanish rule from 1565-1898, religious literature and propaganda emerged alongside secular works. Under American control from 1898-1941, Tagalog novels and English works grew in popularity. Japanese occupation from 1941-1945 saw novels, plays, and poems published in Tagalog and using forms like haiku. Philippine literature has since diversified with growth in different languages and new literary elements.
