1. Pre-colonial Period
- The Pre-colonial Period is all about oral traditions.
- Hard copies of literature pieces here do not exist, they passed down stories orally.
- People may add or deduct words from the story itself while passing down or people
may have created their own version of the story. That’s why stories that came from
this era are not advisable to be used as hard evidence.
- This is where Oral Literatures like Bugtong and Salawikain emerged.
- Folk songs also like Hele and Kanogan.
- Folk Tales like Myths, Legends, Fables and Epics started.
6. Contemporary/Modern Period
- This period is where the EDSA People Power Revolution happened.
- Where protest, movements that fights for the human rights and press freedom
started to show.
- Theaters were used as a tool to let the people know what they are fighting for.
- Literature presented here is how writers, poets use their power to write stories and
poetry pieces. How movies used their characters to portray different characters that
would show their movement and how singers used their voices to create powerful
songs that could open the eyes of many.
