4. To show that as Filipinos who truly love and take pride in
our own culture, we have to manifest our deep concern for
our own literature and this we can do by studying the
literatures of our country.

Post Edsa
Literature
06
a. Lumbera and Lumbera (2005 pp.381-384)
explain that the character of the Philippine
literary scene after "EDSA" maybe pinpointed
by referring to the theories that inform literary
production; to the products issuing from the
publishers; to the dominant concerns
demonstrated by the writer's output and to the
direction towards which literary studies are
tending.
b. There is in the academe an emerging
critical orientation that draws its concerns
and insights from literary theorizing
current in England and the United States.
c. post-EDSA publishing has been marked
by adventurousness, a willingness to
gamble on "non-traditional" projects.
d. The fourth and final characteristic of post
EDSA writing is the developing thrust towards
the retrieval and the recuperation of writing in
Philippine languages other than Tagalog.
Today, Philippine literature may thus be
classified into: (Ordonez, 2001 p-36)
o The residual, a good part of which is oral and
regional, but remaining in the margins simply
because the center of writing and publishing
is in Metro Manila.
oThe dominant language, largely in
English and Tagalog-based Filipino; and
oThe emergent, produced by those in the
periphery, the marginalized sectors,
including workers, peasants, urban poor,
women, gays, lesbians and ethnic
groups.
others.
Sometimes residual oral literature
such as komposo in Negros, solidom-ay in
Cordillera, ismayling in Samar and baliling
in Mindanao are used to convey
contemporary messages of struggle and
commitment and are thus emergent.
Today, it is quite common to have
Filipino writers published abroad in the
original English translation if written in the
local language. These include N.V.M.
Gonzales, F. Sionil Jose, Ninotchka
Rosca, Jessica Hegedorn, Cecilia
Manguerra Brainard, Epifiano San Juan
Jr., Wilfredo Nolledo among others.
THANK YOU
FOR
LISTENING! 
Directions: Since you have already reviewed some major
influences brought to us by the three countries, it is now time to
examine positive and negative results of each period of
colonialism among Filipinos in general during that time.
