2. SPANISH COLONIAL ERA

Spanish occupied Philippines in early 15 th century. The Spanish colonization period has two
distinct classifications – religious and secular.

SPANISH INFLUENCES ON PHILIPPINE LITERATURE


 The first Filipino alphabet called BAYBAYIN was replaced by the Roman alphabet.
 The teaching of the Christian Doctrine became the basis of religious practices.
 The Spanish language which became the literary language during this time lent many of its words
to our language.
 European legends and traditions brought here became assimilated in our songs, corridos, and
moro-moros.
 Ancient literature was collected and translated to Tagalog and other dialects.

Noong mga panahong ito ang mga Pilipinong manunulat ay nagsimulang gumawa ng mga artikulo tungkol
sa karahasan ng pagsakop ng mga Kastila. At sa administrasyon ng Kastila, binago nila ang mga tradisyon at
kultura ng mga Pilipino. Ang mga panitikan ay umiikot lamang sa tema ang relihiyon.

THE FIRST BOOKS


ANG DOCTRINA CRISTIANA This was the first book printed in the Philippines
(THE CHRISTIAN DOCTRINE). in 1593 in xylography.
Sa pagsakop ng mga Espanyol, nalimita ang
paggawa ng mg aklat kaya ang unang naimprintang
libro ay tungkol sa relihiyon. Ang unang uri ng
pagiimprinta ay XYLOGRAPHY o WOODCUT.
Nuestra Señora del Rosario. It contains the biographies of saints, novenas,
and questions and answers on religion.
Libro de los Cuatro Postprimeras This is the first book printed in typography.
de Hombre (in Spanish and Ito naman ang unang libro na naimprinta sa
Tagalog). pamamagitan ng typography – o ang sining ng
maayos na paglalagay ng mga letra para mas
mabasa ng mga mambabasa.(ito yung way ng
pageedit nyo ng thesis, yun parang titingnan nyo
pati font size, margin at spacing)
Ang Barlaan at Josephat. This is a Biblical story printed in the Philippines
and translated to Tagalog from Greek by Fr.
Antonio de Borja.
The Pasion. This is the book about the life and sufferings of
Jesus Christ. It is read only during Lent. Urbana
at Felisa.

RECREATIONAL PLAYS.
The Cenaculo This is a dramatic performance to commemorate
the passion and death of Jesus Christ.
Panunuluyan This is presented before 12:00 on Christmas Eve.
This is a presentation of the search of the Virgin
Mary and St. Joseph for an inn wherein to deliver
the baby Jesus.
Ito ay ginagawa sa Bisperas ng Pasko at
ipinapalabas ang paghahanap nina Maria at Jose ng
matutuluyan habang sya ay nagdadalangtao kay
Jesus.
Zarzuela Considered the father of the drama; it is a
musical comedy or melodrama three acts which
dealt with man’s passions and emotions like love,
hate, revenge, cruelty, avarice or some social or
political problem.
Ang sarsuwela o zarzuela ay isang dulang may
kantahan at sayawan, na mayroong isa hanggang
limang kabanata, at nagpakita ng mga sitwasyon ng
Pilipino na may kinalaman sa mga kuwento ng pag-
ibig at kontemporaryong isyu.
MORO-MORO. Like the Cenaculo, the Moro-moro is presented
also on a special stage. This is performed during
town fiestas to entertain the people and to remind
them of their Christian religion.
Ang moro-moro ay pinaniniwalaang nag-ugat mula
sa sagupaan sa pagitan ng mga Kristiyano at
Pilipinong Muslim. Ang makasaysayang laban na
ito ay nagsimula noong ika-16 na siglo nang ang
mga Kristiyanong Malay, mga Pilipino sa Luzon at
Visayas ay sumama sa pakikidigma ng mga Kastila
laban sa mga Pilipinong Muslim na nasa Timog ng
Pilipinas.
BALAGTASAN. This is a poetic joust or a contest of skills in
debate on a particular topic or issue. This
replaced the DUPLO and is held to honor
Francisco “Balagtas” Baltazar.
Ang balagtasan ay uri ng pagtatalo ng dalawang
magkaibang panig ukol sa isang paksa. Hinango
mula sa pangalan ni Francisco Balagtas, inilalahad
ang sining na ito ang isang uri ng panitikan na
kung saan ipinapahayag ang mga saloobin o
pangangatwiran sa pamamagitan ng pananalitang
may mga tugma sa huli.
In 19th Century, Filipino intellectuals educated in Europe called ilustrados began to write about
the hitch of colonization.
The 300 years with Spaniards marked the longest colonial period in the Philippine history. Due to
the need to see new hope in the midst of multitude, the Filipino spirit reawakened when the 3 priests
Gomez, Burgos and Zamora were guillotined without sufficient evidence of guilt.
Ilustrados ang tawag sa mga panggitnang-klase ng mamamayan na nakapag-aral. Sa loob ng mahigit
300 taon na pananakop ng mga Kastila, ginamit ng mag ilustrados ang kanilang talino upang lumikha ng mga
aklat at iba pang uri ng panitikan laban sa mga ito. Dahil sa kanilang hindi makatarungang kamatayan ng
tatlong paring martir na sina Padre Jose Burgos, Padre Jacinto Zamora, at Padre Mariano Gomez, sumiklab
ang damdamin ng mga Pilipino at nag-iwan ito ng matinding epekto, lalong-lalo na kay Jose Rizal. At dahil dito,
inialay ni Rizal ang El Filibusterismo sa kanila.

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. Panganiban, and Pedro Paterno.

Some of Rizal’s writings:


NOLI ME TANGERE This was the novel that gave spirit to the
propaganda movement and paved the way to the
revolution against Spain.
EL FILIBUSTERISMO This is a sequel which exposed those in the
government and in the church.
MI ULTIMO ADIOS This was a poem by Rizal while he was
incarcerated at Fort Santiago.
Ito ang huling tula na isinulat nya bago sya mamatay.
Some of Jaena’s writings:
ANG FRAY BOTOD (Friar Botod). One of his works written in Jaro, Iloilo in 1876, six
years after the Cavite Revolt attacking the friars in
the Philippines.
Dito niya pinakita ang masasamang katangian ng mga
prayle tulad ng pagiging sakim at immoral.
LA HIJA DEL FRAILE (The Child of the Friar) Here Jaena explains the tragedy of marrying a
and EVERYTING IS HAMBUG (Everything is Spaniard.
mere show)
SA MGA PILIPINO...1891) A speech which aimed to improve the condition of
