#2 REMARKABLE FILIPINO WRITERS IN THE DIFFERENT PERIOD

POST-EDSA 1 REVOLUTION

Carlos Sampayan Bulosan (c. 1911– September 11, 1956) was a Filipino American author, poet, and activist. A chronicler of the Filipino American experience during the 1930s - early 1950s, he is best remembered for his semi-fictional, semi-autobiographical novel America Is In the Heart (1946) — a staple in American Ethnic Studies and Asian American Studies classes.

Though Bulosan was only 42-45 years old when he died of tuberculosis-complicated pneumonia in Seattle in 1956, he left behind a large body of poems, novels, short stories, plays, and correspondence on a range of related topics. Bulosan’s works describe the experience of growing up poor in a rural area of the Philippines, chronicling social and economic conditions created by the American occupation and centuries of Spanish colonialism. Bulosan’s work captures the “push” factors that drove his generation to the United States. Like Bulosan, they hoped to find a better future and forged resilient and adaptive communities in the face of an often-hostile and exploitative European American culture in the United States. First migrating to the United States via Seattle in 1930, he spent several years working migratory labor jobs and labor organizing with his fellow Filipino immigrants. In doing so, Bulosan shared common experience with many other first-generation Filipino migrant workers, most of whom worked in domestic jobs or in agricultural or cannery labor on a migratory labor circuit that spanned the West Coast—from California to Oregon, Washington, and Alaska.

2 Remarkable Filipino Writers in the Different Periods in Philippine Literature

A vast and varied body of writings, Philippine literature reflects the history, culture, and customs of the nation. Over the years, a number of superior writers have come out of the Philippines, establishing works that have won over readers both domestically and abroad. Two of the most notable Filipino authors from various eras of Philippine literature will be highlighted in this introduction.

In the Period of Enlightenment (1872–1888), the Filipino spirit was reawakened after 300 years of apathy under Spanish control when three priests, Gomez, Burgos, and Zamora, were guillotined without adequate evidence of guilt.

Dr. Jose Rizal was a nationalist, author, and revolutionary from the Philippines who inspired a movement for Philippine independence. His legacy has continued to motivate Filipinos to fight for social justice and independence.

Graciano Lopez Jaena was a key figure in the late 19th-century Philippine independence movement, rising to prominence in the Propaganda Movement. He was persecuted and exiled, but never wavered in his dedication to the nationalist cause.

Dr. Jose Rizal and Graciano Lopez Jaena were both influential figures in the Philippine nationalist movement during the late 19th century. Both Rizal and Lopez Jaena were important figures who played a key role in the development of Philippine nationalism and the struggle for independence from Spanish colonial rule. Their works and ideas continue to inspire and influence Filipinos today.

Consequently, the American Regime (1898–1944) was heavily influenced by American culture and values, resulting in a shift from traditional forms to modern and westernized styles. English became the dominant language of literature, replacing Spanish, and many writers adopted the themes, forms, and techniques of American writers.

This period saw the emergence of notable writers such as Jose Garcia Villa and Paz Marquez-Benitez, who explored diverse themes such as identity, colonialism, and social justice. Despite its American influence, Philippine literature during this time also reflected the unique experiences and struggles of the Filipino people under colonial rule.

Jose Garcia Villa was a Filipino poet, author, and visual artist renowned for his avant-garde writing style and influence on generations of authors and poets.

Paz Marquez-Benitez was a Filipino author and educator born in 1894 who wrote "Dead Stars" and contributed plays, short stories, and essays to publications. She died in 1983.

Both Marquez-Benitez and Villa were important figures who helped establish Philippine literature in English as a vital part of the country's cultural heritage. Through their writing and criticism, they contributed to the growth and development of modern Filipino literature and helped pave the way for future generations of writers.

After the Americans, the Japanese Period from 1941 to 1945 entered. One of the two remarkable writers during this period was Juan Laya who is unable to adapt to the Japanese occupation and become a prolific writer in Filipino, contributing to Philippine literature and social realism.

And one of the most important authors in Philippine literature Liwayway Arceo is a well-known Filipino author who examines social and political concerns in her short tales and novels, such as "Lupang Tinubuan".

Both Laya and Arceo were important figures who helped shape Philippine literature during the Japanese period. Through their works, they captured the complexities of life under occupation, and helped preserve and promote the Filipino language and national identity during a time of great challenge and upheaval in the country's history.

In this period, it involves and introduces the poems Haiku, Tanka, Tanaga, and Karaniwang Uri, which are known in this new century.

Alternatively, Philippine literature in English from 1941 to 1945 was halted because of the strict Japanese prohibitions on the writing and publishing of works in English. Philippine literature in English experienced a dark period. But there were two unforgivable and remarkable writers during this dark period.

This period was connected to the American Regime, where there are three sub-periods: the Period of Re-Orientation (1898–1902), the Period of Imitation (1910–1923), and the Period of Self-Discovery (1925–1941), where there are two remarkable writers, Fernando M. Maramag and Carlos P. Romulo, who are the pioneering English poets during this period.

One of the founders of contemporary Filipino poetry Fernando M. Maramag was a founding figure of contemporary Filipino poetry, using English language and a formalist style to explore the struggles of a young woman in the country.

Another one, Carlos P. Romulo was a Filipino diplomat, journalist, author, and politician who achieved significant accomplishments for his nation, both domestically and internationally.

Overall, both Maramag and Romulo were important figures who made significant contributions to the development of Philippine literature in English during the period from 1941 to 1945. Through their works, they helped to establish and shape the literary culture of the country, and their legacy continues to inspire and influence Filipino writers today.

Following that, the Filipino youth are awake during the Period of Activism, known as the Bloody Placards Period from 1970 to 1972. Pociano Pineda claims that domestic and international issues contributed to the 1970–1972 youth activism. Activism and our country's history are intertwined. Pineda added that the youths had demonstrated at this point that our nationalism and race are not formed by perpetual denial. The amount of patience one has is limited. If overworked, it can erupt like a volcano.

However, the New Society Period from 1972 to 1980 approached, and it was interconnected to the Period of Activism, where the Green Revolution, family planning, a healthy diet, the environment, drug addiction, and pollution are just a few examples of subjects that were almost universally related to how the country was developing or progressing. The New Society made an effort to stop pornography and other publications that had a negative impact on people's morals. The school organizations and all newspapers were temporarily suspended.

Because of that, the two remarkable writers facing this period are Ponciano Pineda was a poet who was known for his socially relevant poetry that tackled themes such as poverty, oppression, and the struggle for social justice. His works often highlighted the plight of the poor and marginalized members of society, making his poetry an important vehicle for social critique and commentary during this period.

Aniceto Silvestre, on the other hand, was a poet and literary and cultural critic who played a key role in shaping the development of Philippine literature during this period. He wrote a number of influential works on Philippine literature, including "Philippine Literary Criticism," which remains an essential resource for students and scholars of Philippine literature.

Overall, both Pineda and Silvestre made important contributions to Philippine literature during the New Society Period from 1972 to 1980. Through their works, they helped to shape the literary and cultural landscape of the country, and their influence continues to inspire and influence contemporary Filipino writers today.

Then came the Period of the Third Republic from 1981 to 1985, when the lifting of military rule in the Philippines led to a new nation known as the "New Republic" or "Third Republic," as our late President Ferdinand E. Marcos proclaimed during this period.

The two most remarkable writers during this period are Gilda Cordero-Fernando is a well-known writer, publisher, and cultural icon who has published extensively on topics such as women's issues, Philippine culture, folklore, and history.

Damiana L. Eugenio was a Filipino folklorist and literary expert who specialized in Philippine folklore, mythology, and stories. She received numerous honors for her contributions to Philippine culture and literature, including "Philippine Folk Literature".

Both Eugenio and Cordero-Fernando were instrumental in shaping the literary and cultural landscape of the Philippines during this period. Through their works, they helped to preserve and promote traditional Philippine culture and literature, while also addressing the contemporary concerns and issues of the time. Their contributions continue to inspire and influence contemporary Filipino writers today.

In the year when the Post-EDSA 1 Revolution (1986-1985) was published, journalism underwent a change from years of "guided newspapering" to free and ethical reporting. The "establishment" publications that supported Marcos shut down, while the alternative press rose to prominence.

During this time, two remarkable writers were Bienvenido N. Santos was a Filipino-American writer, professor, and diplomat known for his works that addressed the lives of Filipino immigrants in America and the Philippines, such as "March of Death".

Lastly, Salvador P. Lopez was a writer, journalist, and educator who played a key role in shaping the development of Philippine literature and culture in the post-World War II era. He is best known for his influential essay, "Literature and Society," which argued for the importance of literature as a means of cultural expression and social criticism. Lopez also served as the first Philippine ambassador to the United Nations.

Overall, both Santos and Lopez made important contributions to Philippine literature during the period Post-EDSA 1 Revolution. Through their works, they helped to shape the literary and cultural landscape of the country, and their influence continues to inspire and influence contemporary Filipino writers today.

The literature of the Philippines has a long and varied history that reflects the culture, traditions, and struggles of the country.

Famous authors have contributed to the growth and evolution of Philippine literature from the Enlightenment to the Third Republic. Crafted by Jose Rizal, Graciano Lopez, Jose Garcia Villa, Paz Marquez-Benitez, Liwayway Arceo, Fernando M. Maramag, Carlos P. Romulo, Ponciano Pineda, Aniceto Silvestre, and Gilda Cordero-Fernando proceed to move and teach pursuers both locally and globally.

These authors have contributed to the development of a variety of literary forms, including poetry, short stories, essays, and plays, and they have investigated topics like identity, colonialism, social justice, and activism. Literature in the Philippines continues to be a vibrant and dynamic art form that adapts to the nation's challenges and shifting times.
