The document discusses the history of Philippine literature from pre-colonial times to the 21st century. It is divided into several periods: the pre-Spanish period was characterized by folk tales, epics, and folk songs. During the Spanish period, the Latin alphabet was introduced and Christian doctrines became prominent influences. The period of enlightenment in the late 19th century saw the rise of the propaganda movement spearheaded by nationalist heroes like Rizal, Del Pilar, and Luna. Subsequent periods include the American regime, Japanese occupation, periods of activism, martial law, EDSA revolution, and the contemporary 21st century period defined by new digital technologies.
