 LITERATURE
Definition:
The word literature is derived from the Latin term litera
which means letter. It has been defined differently by
various writers. These are the following:
1. Literature expresses the feelings of people to society, to
the government, to his surroundings, to his fellowmen, and
to his Divine Creator. (Brother Azurin)
2. Literature is anything that is printed as long as it is
related to the ideas and feelings of the people, whether it is
true, or just a product of one’s imagination. (Webster)
3. “True literature is a piece of written work which is
undying. It expresses the feelings and emotions of people
in response to his everyday efforts to live, to be happy in
his environment and, after struggles, to reach his Creator”
(PANITIKANG FILIPINO)
Definition: LITERATURE
In Panitikang Pilipino written by Atienza, Ramos, Salazar
and Nazal, it is said that “true literature is a piece of written
work which is undying. It expresses the feelings and
emotions of people in response to his everyday efforts to
live, to be happy in his environment and, after struggles, to
reach his Creator.”

Philippine Literature is a diverse and rich group of works

that have evolved side by side with the country’s history.
Literature had started with fables and legends made by the
ancient Filipinos long before the arrival of Spanish
influence. The main themes of Philippine literature focus on
the country’s pre-colonial cultural traditions and the socio-
political histories of its colonial and contemporary
traditions.
 Literary History/Evolution of the Philippines
