With English as the medium of instruction in public schools, Filipino literary works in English were
produced. In the first decade, poetry and prose in English appeared in student publications like the UP College
Folio and The Coconut of Manila High School. By the 1930s and 1940s, Filipino writers in English came into
their own.
Philippine Literature in the 21st Century (2001 up to the present)
This body of literature includes digital writings, graphic novels, textula, hypertext, and other emerging
literary genres at present.
In this lesson, you will compare and contrast Amador T. Daguio’s poem “Man of Earth” and a piece
of textula by Frank Rivera.
At 20, the poet Amador T. Daguio wrote “Man of Earth” in 1932. According to Dr. Gemino Abad, a
well-known Filipino poet and critic, “Man of Earth” marks a turning point in Filipino poetry. Daguio’s poem
words in English are reinvented to establish a native idiom.
Textula is poetry written and read on a mobile phone. It is popularized by the playwright Frank Rivera,
who came to be known as the “makata sa cell phone.” His works of textula and other poems are performed in
different occasions, such as rallies, school programs, and contests; published in newspapers; heard on radio; and
shared on social media or through text messaging.
Poetic Terms
Allusion – Using this literary device, the writer refers to a significant person, place, thing, or idea in culture,
history, literature, or politics briefly and indirectly.
e.g:
 His smile is like kryptonite to me. (Superman’s weakness)
 She felt like she had a golden ticket. (Charlie and the Chocolate Factory)
Apostrophe – With this literary device, the writer addresses someone or something that is not present in his
work.
e.g:
 Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
how I wonder what you are.
 Then come, sweet death, and rid me of this grief.
End rhyme – This rhyme occurs in the last syllables of verses.
Lyric poetry – This traditional poetry is characterized by its brevity, emotional intensity, and musical quality.
Example 1:
Man of Earth
By Amador T. Daguio
Pliant is the bamboo;
I am man of earth.
They say that from the bamboo
We had our first birth.
Am I of the body,
Or of the green leaf?
Do I have to whisper
My every sin and grief?
If the wind passes by,

Must I stoop, and try
To measure fully
My flexibility?
I might have been the bamboo,

But I will be a man.
Bend me then, O Lord,
Bend me if you can.
Explanation:
 The lyric poem has a varied rhythm. It is composed of four stanzas, each one with five to
seven syllables.
 The poem contains end rhymes.
 The poem contains an allusion to a Philippine creation myth that tells that the first man
and woman came from a bamboo. The speaker is aware of his own pagan heritage.
 The poem uses apostrophe. The speaker addresses a spiritual being he calls “Lord” in the
last two lines of the fourth stanza.
Example 2:
A Textula
By Frank Rivera
Merong himala, hindi totoong wala
Ituro ma’y mali, alam nati’y tama
Kahit walang sagot itong panalangin
Hindi tumitigil ang ating paghiling.
Walang nagturo na tayo’y makibaka

Ngunit sulirani’y ating binabata
Kahit may pangakong laging napapako
Sa anumang init, handa ring mapaso.
Sa ating puso’y may awit ng pag-asa
Kahit titik nito’y hindi makabisa
Ang katotohana’y lalaging totoo
Basta maniwalang mayroong milagro.
(Reproduced by permission of Frank Rivera)
Explanation:
 The poem is a piece of lyric poetry. It is composed of three stanzas, and each stanza has four lines.//
It has a regular meter; each line consists of twelve syllables.
 The poem uses what is called in Tagalog poetry as “tugmang karaniwan,” wherein the last word of
each line has the same sound. Except the last two lines of the first stanza, the rest of the poem uses
“tugmang patinig,” wherein the last words of the lines have the same vowel sound.
B. ANALYSIS (the students will answer the questions, form of oral recitation)
C. ABSTRACTION
Both Amador T. Daguio’s and Frank Rivera’s poems are lyric poetry and they show
traditional elements. Both poems use end rhymes. However, Daguio’s poem has no regular
meter, while Rivera’s poem has.

Land of the morning

Child of the sun returning
With fervor burning
Thee do our souls adore.
Land dear and holy,
Cradle of noble heroes,
Ne’er shall invaders
Trample thy sacred shores.
Ever within thy skies and through thy clouds
And o’er thy hills and seas;
Do we behold thy radiance, feel the throb
Of glorious liberty.
Thy banner dear to all hearts

Its sun and stars alight,
Oh, never shall its shining fields
Be dimmed by tyrants might.
Beautiful land of love, oh land of light,

In thine embrace ’tis rapture to lie;
But it is glory ever when thou art wronged
For us thy sons to suffer and die.
