    21st Century Literatures from the Philippines and the World

    NARRATIVE REPORT

    MODULE 1

    In Lesson 1, I’ve learned so many things in this specially the History of Literature in the
    Philippines, how they evolve as the years pass by. The evolution of Philippine literature
    depended on the influences of colonization and the spirit of the age. But before the change was
    done, indigenous Philippine literature was based on the given traditions and customs of a
    particular area of the country. Of course, Philippines is an archipelago country, consisting
    several islands, (7,107 islands to be exact). And each of those islands has their specifications of
    cultures and traditions, bearing different set of native literature.
    I find this particular idea exciting. Of course, I would really want to get a glimpse of what they
    call “indigenous Philippine literature” during the pre-colonial period. It would really grant my
    intense interest to know the many different faces of Philippine literature. What was the
    literature among the Bisaya, Waray, Maranaw, to name a few. There were two literary forms
    during the pre-colonial period: written and oral literature. It’s really awesome how native
    people thought of having an interactive learning system for children considering the innocence
    they have in terms of civilization.
    And about the oral literature, I find it very amusing in a way that they chant ambahan,
    songs about nature or childhood, even during joking, drinking, and many other random chores.
    Oh, it will be best to assume that they really do enjoy the literature they have. And this game
    whenever they attend funeral wakes has a very mysterious impression to me. Well, I just hope
    they do won’t make the dead rise for enjoying the game while on wake. Balagtasan is what
    makes it exciting. I love how “players” over an issue in a very poetic way of utterance.

    In Lesson 2, I’ve get to know all the Filipino literary writers, together with their works.
    And I’m shocked we had so many Filipino writers and beautiful works. I’ve research about them
    and get to know all their literary works and it never fails to amazed me, knowing that I am not
    really into literatures. But everything I’ve discover about them are amazing.
    In Lesson 3, I’ve read and learn about the different genres and elements, structures and
    traditions of the 21st Century Literature. Bugtong or riddle, for me, is an effective way to
    inculcate the ability of logical thinking of a child. Since its main target is to improve the vision of
    the child, of how he observes his surroundings and to make his mind work to find the right
    answer, I am pretty sure the native Filipinos were good enough in terms of this. The use of the
    metaphor as the heart of the riddle makes it very poetic and good to hear. And if any child at
    present isn’t even familiar of any Filipino riddle, he should definitely call himself an alien, for
    real. It is a must.
    The rest like salawikain or proverbs (they have seriously the sound to make me reflect its
    hidden meaning through the good lines, and I like the fact that they provides good values),

    NARRATIVE REPORT

    tanaga (whose form makes it beautiful), and the epic (I don’t want to cram negativity here but I
    hate epic, those involving powers and stuff) were the interesting written literature in the
    historic time.

    The concept of preserving oral literature amazes me so much. So how were they able to
    transmit it verbally, I don’t want to know. They really had the memory skill to be able to do
    that. And as I found out, they performed oral literature in favor of the illiterate.

    And of course, because of this indigenous literature, Philippines had represented the ethos and
    identity of the country.
