PHILIPPINE LITERATURE SHORT STORIES – Here are some short stories of the 21st century in Philippine literature.
Literature is panitikan in Tagalog and literature has superior qualities that go above ordinary written works. Philippine literature has evolved through generations and in every generation, new genres also appear and surface. In the country, most of our literary works reflect the culture of every region, society, and lifestyle.

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.
