Question

the development of literature in the philippines
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Philippine literature is literature associated with the Philippines from prehistory, through its colonial legacies, and on to the present. Pre-Hispanic Philippine literature was actually epics passed on from generation to generation, originally through an oral tradition.

Answer 2

The development of literature in the Philippines is mentioned as follows :

• Literature in the pre-colonial Philippines was largely written in an archaic script called 'Baybayin,' which was derived from Brahmic scripts.
• Filipinos utilised it to write largely personal stories and poetry, which they scribbled on dried leaves, leaf barks, and bamboo cylinders.
• At the moment, the Filipino public has little respect for what might be described as "excellent literature." However, the general public's limited consumption of rather commercial literature in the form of short romance paperbacks cannot be excused.
• Even though there are many excellent Filipino writers both in English and in Tagalog today, most middle-class and upper-middle-class Filipinos now appreciate and consume popular Western literature.
