Characteristics of

Philippine Literature in
English

 IT HAS ACHIEVED
AN OUTSTANDING
STATURE SINCE
THE START OF
ENGLISH IN OUR
CULTURE.

 ITS WRITTEN
LITERATURE IS
ABOUT FOUR
HUNDRED YEARS
OLD BUT HAS SLOW
AND EVOLUTIONARY
GROWTH.

ITS WRITERS
STRUGGLED TO EXPRESS
THEIR SENTIMENTS IN
ENGLISH. WHAT THEY
HAVE WRITTEN CAN
COMPARE WITH SOME OF
THE BEST WORKS IN THE
WORLD.

 THE MANY LITERATURE

IN ENGLISH THAT ARE
HERE TODAY IS A
TRIBUTE TO WHAT
FILIPINO WRITERS
HAVE ACHIEVED IN
THE SHORT SPAN OF
TIME.
