What is Philippine Literature?
Philippine literature is a rich group of literary works that has
developed along with the country's history. Long before the arrival of
Western inﬂuences, early Filipinos already have stories to tell to
younger generations.
The Philippines has a rich collection of fables, legends, and myths
from different regions. The babaylan, the early healers, used chants to
please the supernatural beings or spirits to bestow good health and
fortune in the home and the ﬁelds. When the Spaniards came in the
16th century, they introduced Christianity to the islands and used
literature to colonize the country. During the time of the Americans,
English was introduced and Filipinos have grown adept in the usage of
the language. Today, contemporary writers are expanding the horizon
of reality and imagination in their works to reﬂect the Filipino spirit

Philippine literature is diverse, although some of the most famous
literary works focus on the country's postcolonial heritage,
politics, and modern traditions. Filipinos must recognize and give
importance to the people behind the development of Philippine
literature.
Let's take a look at the country's most talented and most
inﬂuential writers who have received the greatest honor for their
signiﬁcant contributions to Philippine literature.
