- The history of Philippine literature reflects a tapestry of foreign influences that have
woven together to create a uniquely Filipino literary tradition. Spanish colonization left a
profound impact, introducing Christianity, the Roman alphabet, and a wealth of literary
forms such as corridos, komedya, and the zarzuela. American colonial rule introduced
English as a medium of instruction, leading to the emergence of a body of work in
English, alongside the continued development of literature in Spanish and indigenous
languages. Japanese occupation during World War II also influenced literature through
wartime narratives. Beyond colonial influences, pre-colonial folklore and oral traditions
continue to shape Philippine literature, blending with external elements to produce a rich
array of literary works that reflect the country's cultural and historical complexities. This
diversity of influences has given Philippine literature a unique and multifaceted
character, with each era adding its own layer to the literary landscape.
