Question

What does the writer want to say about the use of Filipino especially in awakening the social and moral consciousness of the masses?​

Answer 1

Introduction - Phillipine Literature is going through a drought

1st point - many are anticipating the reawakening of literature

2nd point- literature today is focused on the demand of the public

3rd point - A call for re-emergence of Philippine literature

Answer 2

• When the author uses a nationalist tone to say "waking the moral and social conscience of the masses," he is implying that the media employed to promote this awakening must elicit a nationalist and patriotic emotion in people from a moral and social standpoint.
• As a result, using a language other than Filipino to demonstrate the repudiation of foreign conceptions and ideals is incongruent.
• The author also mentions that these media, such as film, literature, and music production, must be tailored to the needs of the target audience, thereby drawing attention and appreciation to the subject being conveyed and appreciated, as well as the usage of the local language
