IV. Essay. 26.-30. Given the influx of Korean drama, Japanese anime, and western movies,
series to your literary scope, what kind of story, theme, and genre would work best to
make Filipino writers recognized here and abroad? X2

I think we should write a story about our Myths,Legends,and Superstition about our
country because these stories are only known in our country, so its best that we tell
these stories here for those only who does not have knowledge about our country and
abroad because these stories are great and interesting since it only occurs here or it’s
our original story based on the Philippines. Some of them may not be interested and
some might be interested but it’s a big step that many of them knows about our country
and the Filipino Writers might be recognized here and abroad because of theses stories.
