Reflection in Philippine Literature

After 7 twenty-four hour periods I continued my studies, I am excited on the beginning(a) day of school, because for me this new test in my carriagetime, My first subject is Filipino Literature in English (Phil. lit. ), there was a madam entered in our classroom, I think she was too one of the students, simply Im wrong she is our instructor, because the teacher sit in desk and showed that she is our teacher in that subject, Ms. Marites Nillo was her name, a simple woman notwithstanding charming I said to myself. Philippine books refers to whole writings from the Philippines, scripted in Spanish, English, Tagalog, and a variety of former(a) Philippine languages.Philippine literature flourished during the Spanish period (nineteenth century) and the first half of the 20th century. The literature of the Philippines covers a variety of genres, to the highest degree notably poetry and metrical romances, prose, dramas, phantasmal dramas, and secular dramas. Philippine liter ature is the discern to discover the accuracy of my self. Often time perceiving what is fact from fiction is re wholey confusing. It is tranquillise difficult to tell if a trusted thing tells the legality or it is bonnie a whole lie, publication of the truth, created in grade to deceive.Philippine literature is a spring board of the truth that is hand down from generation to generation by our ancestors which is handed to us with c be. The reason is that if the truth is manipulated, the truth will never be the truth any more but just a sort of k straightledge. there is a verbalize that all truths be knowledge but not all knowledge is truth. I produce acquire that Philippine literature has brought me the realization of valuing the whiz of being of a true Filipino, in spite of what have happened in our annals that we are once slaves of the exotic invaders.However, the seek of happiness enlightens the hearts of the Filipinos into the light of a new nation. The rich cu ltural inheritance of our ancestors has thought me a lot of things close the authority of life. For instance the alamat The origin of things and events that commonly narrates nigh the genesis of man, the subject matter of life, the constant search of the truth and the profound meaning of life that bathala has brought us.This thing authentically intrigues me and gives me the atisfaction of seeking more about the meaning of my life through the lives of our ancestors and the connection of their lives to my life. I have intentional likewise from their examples and wise sayings, that has been well-mannered though their hardships. These experiences commonly teach about practical thinking and its application to life, that just about of the Filipino are using now as a guide to insouciant living. I also learned how to deal dirge, and the truth is after I submitted Elegy I discarded it, because I put ont want to think that what soulfulness say when I was dead.One safe(p) exa mple of a wise saying is nasa Diyos ang awa nasa tao ang gawa. (deity helps those peck who help them selves. ) This saying gives me the ecstasy that even before the time of our ancestors they already have the perception of the existence of a one true God, who has the power to do signs and wonders in our life. That is why we have learned how to pray and constantly asking Gods help in all adversity of our life in order for us to be a fertile citizen of our nation.This fact means that our ancestors have already the sense of religiosity that in life there should be slightlyone that is great than us, in life there is really the divine hand that is constantly manoeuver us in everything that we are doing and things that we are trying to achieve. There have been some very well-respected Filipino authors in the chronicle of the Philippines, partiallyicularly authors such as Jose Rizal, whose penning during the Spanish colonial era helped to tease and reform the thinking of the Fili pino community against the Spanish in their conquest of the surface area and give pride to the Filipino people.It was the contentious writings of Rizal that became a factor in his execution by the Spanish. The Philippines, having been under Spanish rule for nearly three centuries, budged hand to American rule following the Spanish-American state of war and a lot of the literature that followed gave a pro-Hispanic theme as the country began to suit to life under American rule, at that time preferring life under Spanish rule. Also I learned about the other National Heroes did in our country, alike(p) Marcelo H. Del Pilar, Graciano Lopez Jaena, Antonio Luna, Mariano Ponce, Jose Ma.Panganiban, and Pedro Paterno, they are the leading in Propaganda Movement. The field of operation of literature during this period (the 20th and twenty-first Century writings) gives fascinating insight to the change that was going on in the Philippines and how the Filipino people were dealing with t his. In this representation the study of Philippine literature is rattling also a study of part of the history of both Spain and America and demonstrates how the Filipino people related to these countries. The writings also point to the identity of the Filipino people during this era and their struggle to have an autonomous identity under the yoke of foreign rulers.I have realized that Philippine literature has influenced me so much that it became my way of thinking and feeling toward the appreciation of the kayo of life. In fact, the truth is that Philippine literature lies within the innermost seat of my heart. And no one could ever take it external from me. It means that I am a Filipino in thought, words and in action is the result of my experiences of Philippine literature in my life. This inspiration has helped me to discover the truth of my innermost self.
