21st Century Philippine Literature

Philippine Literature are literatures that reflects the daily life, culture, tradition, and history of the Philippines and Filipinos.

21st Century Philippine Literatures are Philippine literatures that were produced from the year 2001 to present time. It is still evolving and continues to introduce many new unique forms of literature. While it is well and alive, many people are not acknowledging it, especially the younger generations. 

With this blog, I am hoping that I can make more people acknowledge the 21st Century Philippine Literature and engage in them.

To begin, I have picked some of my favorite 21st Century Philippine Literature and wrote literary analysis for each one.

“Ang Huling El Bimbo'' is a musical written by Dingdong Novenario, directed and choreographed by Dexter Santos. It is produced by Resorts World Manila and Full House Theater Company. The musical play was held at Newport Performing Arts, Resorts World Manila. The hit song with the same name, which the play was based on, was composed by Ely Buendia of the Philippine rock band Eraserheads, for their 1995 studio album Cutterpillow. The play used many nostalgic songs that are now part of our Filipino heritage. There is also a great effort put into the lighting, sounds, and the overall play elements that made the stage play stand out. Money, friendship, love, and societal issues are the key themes shown in the song’s stage adaptation. Hidden in the lighthearted scenes and cheerful music choice are the dark themes present in our society. This story follows four teenagers’ lives that formed a charming friendship that helped them go through all the different struggles in their lives. It all started on a BCMT, where Anthony, Emman, and Hector start an unlikely friendship with Joy. This story then follows all the life-changing events that happen in their young lives until they eventually found a family of their own.

Ang Huling El Bimbo is a series of songs by Eraserheads masterfully pieced together to narrate the story of three guys and how their lives and relationships were, and are, changed by Joy. The musical starts with the present-day trio and smoothly transitions to their teenage years, showing how they built their friendship and their shared experiences in college. There was no explicit statement of where they entered, but they did mention Kalayaan and Area 2, and there was a stairway reminiscent of AS Steps, a parade of lanterns, and a barbecue stand similar to Mang Larry’s, all of which seemingly alluding to UP Diliman. This made me a little nostalgic, recalling my own days as a college student there, too. We stayed in AS steps while waiting for our next class, dropped by the various kiosks in quest for the best siomai, and then end up in Mang Larry’s (or the nameless one beside it), for their barbecue and isaw. I’d go on about how we also watched groups protesting and that the UP Pep Squad was glorious, but I digress.

The story continues on, playfully using the band’s upbeat songs, including Tindahan ni Aling Nena, Pare Ko, and Huwag Kang Matakot, to narrate the three’s growing relationship alongside Joy, with one taking on the role of the bestfriend, another as the protective kuya, and the last as her lover. The show’s lively and exciting first act, ends in a shocking scene, leaving the viewers’ jaws in a sudden drop. The actress’ great skill was highlighted here, as you can really hear the fear and anger in her voice. I personally wanted to pick a fight with the “perpetrators” and even the three main characters, for not doing anything about it!

The second act uses less lively music to show the progression of events after that poignant scene. Particularly tear-jerking for me was how they were able to make a song as uplifting as With A Smile sound so painful, with the main characters seemingly reminding themselves to keep smiling despite all the trouble they have found themselves in. The misery of each character grew since that fateful day, and you could see how they were all really merely victims of circumstance. And while they each tried to make the most of it, there was really nothing they could do with ~life getting in the way. Poverty, strict parents, and even their childhood naivety, there were many contributory reasons as to why they all made certain choices and decisions, the consequences of which they also had to live with.

Overall, the story was a total heartbreaker, and I commend the entire company for putting up such a beautiful show. The band made it very difficulty to not sing along. The supporting cast all had great voices, physical endurance, and coordination, that their choreography seemed so easy. Everything about it was just so amazing, and I would really love to watch the show one more time. Kudos to Dingdong Novenario and Dexter Santos! You were able to bring alive and help us understand the story of the unfortunate lady who was kamukha ni Paraluman, tagahugas ng pinggan sa may Ermita, na isang gabi ay nasagasaan sa isang madilim na eskinita.
