C. Abstraction
Our topic for today is about the 21st Century
Literature from the Philippines and the
World.

But before we proceed, let us discuss first,

what is History and why do we need to
study History.

In the past activities and group reporting,

we have discussed and tackled the periods
of the Philippine history.
(To have a better
Why do you think we need to study the understanding of the past,
past? and to make an inspiration
for the future.)
That is true, we need to travel along the
timeline of the past. And before we discuss
the present we need to go back to our roots,
that is why history is important, because
history tells us where we should go and
history will serve as our guide.

And before we go ahead and discuss the

literary forms and genres.

Let us first know our subject. The 21st

Century Literature.
The 21st Century started
When do you think the 21st Century starts January 01, 2001 and will
and when it would end? end in December 31, 2100.

Very good, that is correct.

When we say 21st century, this is the period

of time that started in January 01, 2001, and
will end in December 31, 2100. Literature is a work of men
pass down through
Now what is Literature? generations to generations.

Very good, that is precisely what Literature

means.

But in addition. Literature comes from a

Latin word Litera which Letter. Yes, Sir!

So, it means even a candy wrapper can be

considered literature?

Anything that has letter in it can be

considered literature as long as it gives
reflection of the lives of the people that is
living on that period.

And literature is also a form of writing, be it

handwritten or printed.

May also be in symbols or pictures

That gives people insights into their
behavior and experiences.

I have a picture here; can you please tell us

if this can be considered as literature?

1.

Yes, Sir!

Does this picture can be considered as

Literature?

2.

Yes, Sir!

Can this also be considered as Literature?

3.

Yes, Sir!

How about this one?

Very good class, all the pictures I presented

are all considered as Literature.

Now let us go ahead and discuss the Genres

and Forms used in a Literary piece.

There are a lot of genres and forms used in

literature, however this is the most common
and staple genres and forms used even
before the Pre-colonial period up unto the
present time. Except for those we will
discuss that are on the 21st century.

The first one we have is:

1. Riddle – relied on talinghaga or

metaphor. It is a guessing game of
objects represented by other objects.
The answer is T-shirt Sir!
Example: “Isa ang pasukan, tatlo ang
labasan.”

What do you think is the answer of this

riddle?
Correct, the answer is T-shirt.

2. Proverbs – are statement of a

particular culture’s code of behavior
and beliefs and intended to teach
values. They are known as
kasabihan in Tagalog, panultihon in
Cebuano.

Example: “May pakpak ang balita, may

tainga ang lupa”

3. Epics – were the most prominent

literary genre of the pre-colonial
period. It featured local heroes
taking on various adventures and
indeed succeeding the journey.

Example: The Epic from Iloco, Luzon: Biag

ni Lam-ang

4. Myths – served to explain how the

world was created.

Example: the story from the Bible: “Adam

and Eve”

5. Legends – Explain the origin of

things.

Example: “Ang alamat ng Pinya”

6. Fables – Usually features animals

that could talk like humans and
teaches a valuable lesson to the
readers.
Example: The famous kids fable from The
Philippines
“Si Pagong at si Matsing”

The next are both from the 21st century

genres, and this is a very timely and very
relatable genres that I’m sure you all know
and love.

7. Manga – This is a 21st century

literary genre and an umbrella term
for a wide variety of comic books
and graphic novels originally
produced and published in Japan.

Example: Example is the famous Shonen or

boys’ manga, Dragon Ball.

In this genre, manga has a lot of examples,

Shojo or girls’ manga, Seinen or Men’s
manga, Josei or women’s manga and
Kodomo the children’s manga.

And some movies and tv series were

adapted from manga.

8. Spoken Poetry – This is a 21st

century literary genre that is in a
form of art that transforms poetry
readings into theatrical events. This
is usually performed with a musical
background.

Before spoken poetry was called

Balagtasan.

In this genre, this very relatable to the

youth, because it has all the elements and
themes that a youth would love, like friends,
family and love, even the timely
expressions and hugot are in this genre.
 And for the forms of literature, this two are
the most staple of them all. That all of the
literary piece’s would be based on these
forms.

First, we have:

9. Fiction – A literary form that tells a

story of an imaginary people and
events, this is something told or
written that is not a fact.

Example: The famous movie that is adapted

from a comic, The Marvel Universe.

10. Non-Fiction – A literary form that

tells a story that is based on a real
events or situation.

Example: The famous movie, that was

based on a true event.
