JAPANESE PERIOD (1941-1945) GROUP 1  Introduction Philippine Literature was interrupted in its development when another foreign country, Japan, conquered the Philippines between 1941-1945. Philippine literature in English came to a halt.  Introduction The Japanese period has been described as one of the worst periods in Philippine history and literature.  Introduction During this time, there was no freedom of speech and of the press.  Introduction There were some efforts at escapist literature, but in general, the literary output was minor and insignificant. Because of strict censorship, few literary works were printed during the war years.  HISTORY The invasion of the Philippines started on 8 December 1941. Japan decided to attack Southeast Asia including Philippines to gain access to natural resources The Japanese promised a “Bagong Araw,” or “New Era,” and called for an age of “Asia for Asians.”  HISTORY Manila was declared an “open city,” during the Japanese Occupation Jose P. Laurel was the Filipino president appointed by the Japanese during the Japanese occupation  HISTORY During the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, writing in English was banned, so authors switched to writing in Filipino. The Japanese government had a lot of bad feelings toward the United States, and they did everything they could to stop the Filipinos from liking the Americans.  HISTORY Filipino literature had a break as a result of the restriction on writing in English. In vernacular languages, many Filipino authors wrote plays, poetry, short stories, and novels. Nihongo was introduced to the Filipinos, but it was not well accepted, because it was taught to them by force.  HISTORY Victoria Abelardo has described Filipino writing during the Japanese occupation as being pessimistic and bitter. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND ALL newspapers in English were stopped by the Japanese military authority. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Except for the Tribune and the Philippine Review, Pillars, Free Philippines, and Filipina, almost all newspapers in English were stopped by the Japanese.  HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The weekly Liwayway Publication was placed under rigorous monitoring and administered by a Japanese individual called Ishiwara.  HISTORICAL BACKGROUND During the Japanese Occupation in the Philippines, the predominant themes of most poems were nationalism, country, love and life in the barrios, faith, religions, and the arts.  HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The only contact with the outside world was done with utmost secrecy through the underground radio program called "Voice of Freedom.”  HISTORICAL BACKGROUND Tagalog was favored by the Japanese military authority and writing in English was consigned to a limbo. Japanese were able to influence and encourage the Filipino in developing the vernacular literature. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The only Filipino writers who could write freely were those who were living in the United States. Most writers and authors were lead to either go underground or write in Tagalog. So, Filipino literature was given a break during this period. Filipino literature also experienced renewed attention because writers in English turned to writing in Filipino. HISTORICAL BACKGROUND The drama experienced a lull during the Japanese period because movie houses showing American films were closed. The big movie houses were just made to show stage shows. Many of the plays were reproductions of English plays to Tagalog. The translators were Francisco Soc Rodrigo, Alberto Concio, and Narciso Pimentel. Question Time  MATCHING TYPES COLUMN A COLUMN B A.English 1.Country that interrupted Philippine B.
