Philippine Literature Short Stories

The early stages of literature in the country started in the pre-Spanish period and went through the Spanish period and the Propaganda and Revolutionary Periods. There are epics, legends, folklore, salawikain, bugtong, sawikain, and songs such as the Oyayi or Hele that are passed from one generation to another in the pre-Spanish era. These are taught in schools.

During the Spanish era, corrido, awit, dalit, cenaculo, moro-moro, duplo and karagatan, and zarzuela emerged. These forms reflect Christianity. And at present time, in the 21st century, those are the pieces that were written and published in the year 2000s.
