Differentiate the life during Pre-Colonial Period and 21st Century
Recognize the National pride of the Philippines in Literature

Values Integration:

INTRODUCTION
Overview

The diversity and richness of Philippine literature evolved side by side with the country's
history. This can best be appreciated in the context of the country's pre-colonial cultural traditions
and the socio-political histories of its colonial and contemporary traditions.
The average Filipino's unfamiliarity with his indigenous literature was largely
djhjhgkbmbjbjgue to what has been impressed upon him: that his country was "discovered" and,
hence, Philippine "history" started only in 1521.

So successful were the efforts of colonialists to blot out the memory of the country's largely
oral past that present-day Filipino writers, artists and journalists are trying to correct this inequity by
recognizing the country's wealth of ethnic traditions and disseminating them in schools and in the
mass media.
The rousing of nationalistic pride in the 1960s and 1970s also helped bring about this change
of attitude among a new breed of Filipinos concerned about the "Filipino identity."

INTRODUCTION

Overview
Although literature is often thought of as ephemeral and transient it can also remind us of the
horrors of the past, and bring with it is sensory experiences through rhyme, rhythm, and image. It is
a more tactile, evocative medium than newspaper articles or history books, and keeps the past alive
for the present readers. In this lesson we will be diving into the different periods of the Philippine
Literature. These periods have had significant impact on our nation and merit remembrance and
reflection.
