Period of Enlightenment (1872- 1898) The Propaganda Movement (1872-1896) – This movement was spearheaded mostly by the intellectual middle-class like Jose Rizal, Marcelo del Pilar; Graciano Lopez Jaena, Antonio Luna, Mariano Ponce, Jose Ma.

The American Regime (1898-1944) Characteristics of Literature during this period: The languages used in writing were Spanish and Tagalog and the dialects of the different regions. But the writers in Tagalog, continued in their lamentations on the conditions of the country and their attempts to arouse love for one’s native tongue and the writers in English imitated the themes and methods of the Americans. The Japanese Period (1941-1945) Filipino Poetry during this period. The common theme of most poems during the Japanese occupation was nationalism, country, love, and life in the barrios, faith, religion, and the arts. The Japanese Period (1941-1945) Three types of poems emerged during this period: a. Haiku - a poem of free verse that the Japanese like. It was made up of 17 syllables divided into three lines and b. Tanaga – like the Haiku, is short, but it had measure and rhyme. c. Karaniwang Anyo (Usual Form) Philippine Literature In English (1941-1945) Because of the strict prohibitions imposed by the Japanese in the writing and publishing of works in English, Philippine literature in English experienced a dark period. For the first twenty years, many books were published both in Filipino and in English. Philippine Literature In English (1941-1945) In the New Filipino Literature, Philippine literature in Tagalog was revived during this period. Most themes in the writings dealt with Japanese brutalities, the poverty of life under the Japanese government, and the brave guerilla exploits. PERIOD OF THE NEW SOCIETY (1972- 1980) The period of the New Society started on September 21, 1972. The Carlos Palanca Awards continued to give annual awards. Poems dealt with patience, regard for native culture, customs, and the beauties of nature and surroundings. Period Of The Third Republic (1981-1985) After ten years of military rule and some changes in the life of the Filipino, which started under the New Society, Martial Rule was at last lifted on January 2, 1981. The Philippines became a new nation, and this, former President Marcos called “The New Republic of the Philippines.” Post-Edsa 1 Revolution (1986-1995) History took another twist. Once more, the Filipino people regained their independence, which they lost twenty years ago. In four days from February 21-25, 1986, the so-called People Power (Lakas ng Bayan) prevailed. 21st Century Period The new trends have been used and introduced to meet the needs and tastes of the new generation. 21st Century learners are demanded to be ICT inclined to compete with the style and format of writing as well. New codes or lingos are used to add flavor in the literary pieces produced nowadays. Thank you very much! Diana D. Tobias Subject Teacher
