The document provides an overview of pre-colonial and colonial Philippine literature. It discusses early forms of oral pre-colonial literature including proverbs, riddles, folksongs, epics, and folktales. It then covers the literature that developed during the Spanish colonial period, including poetic forms like tula and awit, narrative forms like corrido and pasyon, and dramatic genres like moro-moro, tibag, and sarswela. The document categorizes Philippine dramas into three groups: dulang pantanghalan for staged performances, dulang panglansangan for street performances, and dulang pambahay for household performances.
