WEEK-3 AMERICAN REGIME

Philippine literary production during the


American Period in the Philippines was
spurred by two significant developments in
education and culture. One is the introduction
of free public instruction for all children of
school age and two, the use of English as
medium of instruction in all levels of
education in public schools.
WEEK-3 AMERICAN REGIME

Many Filipinos started writing again, and the


nationalism of the people remained
undaunted. Filipino writers went into all
forms of literature, like news reporting,
poetry, stories, plays, essays, and novels.
Their writings clearly demonstrate their love
of the country and their longings for
independence.
PHILIPPINE LITERATURE IN ENGLISH

In a way, we can say that we can trace the


beginnings of Philippine literature in English to
the coming of the Americans. For this purpose,
we can divide this period into three-time frames,
namely:
THE PERIOD OF RE-ORIENTATION (1898-1910)
PERIOD OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND GROWTH
(1925-1941)
THE PERIOD OF IMITATION (1910-1924)
THE PERIOD OF RE-ORIENTATION(1898-1910)

August 13, 1898 - American Occupation.


By 1900, English had come to be used as a
medium of instruction in public schools.
By 1908, the primary and intermediate grades
were using English. It was also about this time
when UP, the forerunner in the use of English
in higher education, was founded.
THE PERIOD OF IMITATION(1910-1924)

In 1919, the UP College Folio published the


literary compositions of the first Filipino
writers in English. They were the pioneers of
short story writing.
They were then grouping their way into
imitating American and British models, which
resulted in a stilted, artificial and unnatural
style, lacking vitality and spontaneity.
THE PERIOD OF IMITATION(1910-1924)

philippine collegian is the official student


publication of the university of the philippines
diliman and one of only three tertiary-level
campus publications in the philippines
released weekly.
PERIOD OF SELF-DISCOVERY AND
GROWTH(1925-1941)

By this time, Filipino writers had acquired the


mastery of English writing. They now
confidently and competently wrote on a lot of
subjects, although the old-time favorites of
love and youth persisted. They went into all
forms of writing, like novels and plays.
