And I wish to ease my doubt.
T’was my place I want to find,
While leaving all fears behind.

SPANISH COLONIAL PERIOD
The Spanish colonial period in the Philippines, which lasted for over three centuries (from 1565 to 1898), had a profound impact on Philippine literature. During this time, literature in the Philippines underwent significant changes and developments, with the introduction of the Spanish language, Catholicism, and European literary traditions.
SPANISH INFLUENCES ON PHILIPPINE LITERATURE
Religious InfluenceThe most prominent form of literature during this period was religious in nature. Spanish missionaries, notably the Augustinians, Dominicans, and Jesuits, played a significant role in the dissemination of Christianity and education.
Oral Tradition Before the arrival of the Spaniards, the Philippines had a rich oral tradition of storytelling, epic poetry, and folk tales.
Doctrina Christiana: This was one of the earliest books printed in the Philippines in 1593. It was a religious manual written in Spanish and Tagalog and was instrumental in teaching the Catholic faith to the indigenous people. Florante at Laura: Often attributed to Francisco Balagtas, "Florante at Laura" is an epic poem written in the 19th century. It is a significant literary work that explores themes of love, honor, and heroism.
Awit and Corrido: Two popular forms of narrative poetry emerged during the Spanish colonial period. The "awit" was a long narrative poem, often romantic or heroic in nature. The "corrido" was similar but usually focused on the lives of saints or other religious themes. Pasyon: The "Pasyon" is a narrative poem that tells the story of the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Spanish Influence: Much of the literature during this period was written in Spanish, and Spanish literary styles and themes heavily influenced Philippine writers.
Literary Societies: During the later years of the Spanish colonial period, literary societies like the "Liga Filipina" and the "Katipunan" emerged.
Suppression and Censorship: The Spanish colonial government often censored and suppressed writings that were deemed subversive or critical of the colonial regime, leading many writers to use allegory and coded language to express their dissent.
Nationalism and Reform: Towards the end of the Spanish colonial period, there was a growing sense of Filipino nationalism and the desire for reforms.
American Colonial Period
Prominent authors like Nick Joaquin and Carlos Bulosan emerged, contributing to the development of modern Philippine literature in English
During this time, the Philippines was under American rule, and English became the medium for literary expression.
Filipino writers began to produce works in English, reflecting the influence of American culture and ideals
Introduction of English: With the arrival of American colonizers, the English language became a dominant medium for education, governance, and communication in the Philippines. Influence of American Literature: American literary styles and themes influenced Filipino writers. American writers like Mark Twain, Edgar Allan Poe, and Washington Irving had an impact on Filipino authors, who started writing in English.
American Educational System: The American colonial government established an educational system, leading to a rise in literacy rates. New Literary Forms: Filipino authors began to explore new literary forms, including the short story, novel, and essay, which were introduced by the American educational system.
Prominent Filipino Authors: Several Filipino authors emerged during this period, including Nick Joaquin, F. Sionil Jose, and Carlos Bulosan. Themes of Nationalism and Identity: Literature during the American colonial period often explored themes of nationalism, identity, and the search for a unified Filipino identity in the face of colonialism.
Social Realism: Many Filipino writers embraced social realism, addressing social, political, and economic issues facing the nation. F. Sionil Jose's works, for instance, are known for their social and political commentary. Revival of Regional Languages: While English became the official language, regional languages were not forgotten.
Historical and Political Events: Literature during this period often reflected major historical and political events in the Philippines, including the Second World War, the declaration of Martial Law in 1972 by Ferdinand Marcos, and the People Power Revolution in 1986. Diaspora Literature: The Filipino diaspora, which saw millions of Filipinos migrating to various parts of the world for work, inspired a body of literature exploring the experiences and challenges of overseas Filipinos.
