    BICOLANO LITERATURE

    - Bicolano literature has flourished providing a lively literature flavor


    unrivalled by any other literary tradition
    - Has its roots in orally transmitted poems and mythical narratives that
    reflect the history of the people.
    - Mariano Perfecto is the first Bicolano writer who published the Bikola
    Newspaper, he was also responsible for the development of the first
    printing press named “Imprenta de Nuestra Senora de Penafrancia”
    - While the latter development implied that Bikolano literature was
    dominated by religious writing at that time.
    - Protest drama became a form of expressing the people’s growing
    resentment of the Spanish rule.
    - “Comedia” writers such as Sabas Armenta, Juan Alvarez Guerra and Juan
    Miraflor have protest plays credited to their names.
    - The dramatic genre of the “corridor”, which was popular among the
    Tagalog-speaking folks, was adapted into the local “Bikol Corrido” with
    “Magamang Pobre” being a popular example.

    BICOLANO AUTHORS AND THEIR LITERARY PIECES:

     Day on the Farm by Luis G. Dato


     A Cloud Named Looking-For-You by Marne Kilates

    CEBUANO LITERATURE
    - Cebuano, dubbed as “The Queen Of The South”, distinguishes itself with
    its rich and vibrant literary tradition.
    - Cebuano literature refers to the literary works written in Cebuano, a
    language widely spoken in the Southern Philippines.
    - These included the “balak” (which contains “balaybay” or metaphor),
    the “tigmo” (riddles), “panultihon” (proverbs), and “garay” verses.
    - “Balitaw”, a poetic debate that required the participants (a man and a
    woman) to improvise and even sing their lines, was also popular in the
    place.
    - Tomas de San Geronimo’s “Soneto sa Pagdayeg can Santa Maria Gihapon
    Virgen” (1751) is the first of many religious compositions that show a
    loss of the mysterious symbol and metaphor of pre-colonial verse.
    - The “pasyon” is considered the longest poetic form. It is a verse
    interpreting the life and suffering of Jesus Christ that is read during the
    Lent season.
    - Cebuano Literature is probably weakest when it comes to the Drama,
    even though there are few writers like Claude Al Evangelio and Allan
    Jayme Rabaya whose writings were continued.
    - Cebuano playwrights have slowly turned to radio and TV-scriptwriting
    triggered by the worry they had regarding thoughts unusual to writing
    for theater, like curiosity in publication and facing the standard of the
    theater arts.
