Remarkable Filipino Writers.

THE PRE-COLONIAL PERIOD.

Years before any of the colonizers took a step on our country, many of our ancestors made oral literatures such as myths, legends, epics, and riddles that came from their customs and beliefs. These works were passed down from generation to generation through storytelling. Some of the well-known examples of pre-colonial Philippine literature are:

1. Hinilawod of the Hiligaynon people - an epic poem which tells the story of the adventures of three brothers.

2. Biag ni Lam-ang of the Ilocano people - another epic which tells the story of a heroic warrior, Lam-ang.

Unfortunately, no one knew the exact writer for some of the literature during this time as it came from different tribes and is passed on first through verbal means before being recorded during the colonial period.

PERIOD OF ENLIGHTENMENT.

1. Jose Rizal - Born on June 19, 1861. He was a novelist, poet, and essayist who wrote in both Spanish and Tagalog. His most famous works includes "Noli Me Tangere" and "El Filibusterismo," his novels that exposed the injustices of the Spanish colonial government in which inspired the Philippine Revolution that helped pave the way for the country's independence from the Spaniards. He was executed by the Spanish authorities on December 30, 1896 at Bagumbayan for his involvement in the revolution. He is now known for being the National Hero of the Philippines for his many literary contributions that paved the way towards our independence from the Spanish colonizers.

2. Antonio Luna (1866 - 1899) - He was born in Binondo, Manila to a prominent family. He was a prolific writer, publishing articles and essays that criticized the Spanish colonial government and advocated for Philippine independence. Some of his notable works include "Impresiones," a collection of essays on Philippine society and politics, and "La Union," a newspaper he founded that promoted nationalist and anti-colonial ideas. He died on 1899 when he was assasinated by other Filipino soldiers.
