Answer 1

Answer:

The diversity and richness of Philippine literature evolved side by side with the country's history. This can best be appreciated in the context of the country's pre-colonial cultural traditions and the socio-political histories of its colonial and contemporary traditions. The average Filipino's unfamiliarity with his indigenous literature was largely due to what has been impressed upon him: that his country was "discovered" and, hence, Philippine "history" started only in 1521.  So successful were the efforts of colonialists to blot out the memory of the country's largely oral past that present-day Filipino writers, artists and journalists are trying to correct this inequity by recognizing the country's wealth of ethnic traditions and disseminating them in schools and in the mass media.  The rousings of nationalistic pride in the 1960s and 1970s also helped bring about this change of attitude among a new breed of Filipinos concerned about the "Filipino identity."

Answer 2

The proximity and the similarity in practices and history makes the values and traditions of Japanese and Filipino individuals similar however, there are some very key distinctions in the ways in which we look at traditions and values in the Philippines.

• For starters, a lot of Filipino tradition has been lost throughout history due to settlement, military changes, and colonization. A lot of Filipino history relies on verbal and spoken traditions. Through the introduction of Christianity and the Spanish empire, a lot of these oral traditions would have been lost in favor of Christianity.
• Japan was never colonized by foreign and western powers and therefore was in a unique position to preserve its culture and heritage for centuries.
• Another difference in the ways we look at traditions and values is the reverence and sacredness each country holds when it comes to culture. Japan holds high reverence for its traditions and makes it a point to implement its teachings to the younger generations and preserve tradition.
• The loss of tradition is no fault of the Filipino people but rather the layers and levels of conditioning that they would have to go through and how much unlearning they would have to go through in order to bring back their traditions and cultures. That being said a lot of the Filipino culture and traditions have seen the light of day and continue to be expressed to the modern times.
