The Christian Doctrine (Doctrina Cristiana) was the first book printed in the Philippines in 1593. It was written by Fr.
Juan de Placencia and Fr.Domingo Nieva in Tagalog and Spanish. It contained the Our Father (Pater Noster), Hail Mary
(Ave Maria), Hail Holy Queen (Regina Coeli), The Ten Commandments of God, the Commandments of the Catholic
Church, the Seven Mortal Sins, How to Confess, and the Catechism.
The Passion is another book printed which is about the life and sufferings of Jesus Christ that is still read during Lenten
season nowadays by devout Catholics. This book is an example of a narrative poetry.
Religious lyric poems included complimentary verses and meditative verses. Complimentary verses were intended to
attract readers to read a certain book by giving praises. It served a double purpose: to draw readers and to teach the Spanish
language to the Filipinos. Meditative verses were found in novenas and catechisms. Examples of meditative verses were
Francisco de Salazar’s “Dalit sa Caloualhatian sa Langit na Cararatnan nang mga Banal” and Pedro Suarez Ossorio’s
“Salamat nang Ualang Hoyang.” Verses in novenas and catechisms tended to be written in the poetic form dalit, an early
form that resembles free verse, in that there is no fixed rhyme or meter, save for some octosyllabic four-line stanzas.
The Spaniards brought a variety of dramatic forms to enrich Philippine theater. These forms included sarswela, the
sinakulo and the komedya. It is evident that even in the genre drama, religious themes continued to be dominant. The
sinakulo, for one, dramatized the pasyon, in that it was a live action simulation of Christ’s passion and death. Even battles
between Christian and Muslims-itself an long standing issue-was dramatized in the moro-moro or comdia de capa y
espada(Simoun Victor D. Redoblado, Brilliant Creations Publishing, Inc., 2017:12-14).
Other contributions of the Spanish were: Duplo, it is a poetic joust in speaking and reasoning. Balagtasan is another poetic
joust of skills in debate on a particular topic or issue. This replaced duplo and is held in honor of Francisco “Balagtas”
Baltazar. Folksongs became widespread in the Philippines. Each region had its song. It manifests the artistic feelings of the
Filipinos. Examples which are sting sang today are: Leron-Leron Sinta from the Tagalog, and Dandansoy, a Bisaya song.
There was also a Corrido. It is in octosylllabic verse. Example to this is Ibong Adarana. Awit is another work which is
dodecasyllabic. Florante at Laura of Francisco Balagtas is an example.
It was in this period that our national hero, Dr. Jose Rizal made many compositions which are still known today. Like the
Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo. His two masterpieces that portrayed the colorful characteristics of Philippine
society. Before he died, he wrote the Mi Ultimo Adios.
