PRECOLONIAL PHILIPPINES:
A HISTORICAL OVERVIEW
Objectives
• Write a close analysis and critical
interpretation of literary texts;
• Identify the geographic, linguistic, and ethnic
dimension of Philippine Literary History from
Precolonial to the contemporary, and
• Identify the representative texts and authors
from each region.
Pre-colonial literature is divided into
three periods specifically
Mythological Age, Heroic Age and
Folktales according to Arsenio
Manuel, a literary scholar notable for
his studies on Philippine Folk
Literature.
1. Mythological Age is the
period when our ancestors told
stories about the creation of
human beings and the world,
natural phenomena, and deities
and spirits.
2. Heroic Age In this period, the
characters in stories evolved.
Whereas supreme beings and deities
were the common subjects during the
Mythological Age, ordinary mortals
and cultural heroes became, the chief
subject matter in this period.
Epics became a popular genre, and
they were chanted, during
important events in the community
to inspire people. These were also
performed to remind the
community of their ideals and
values.
3. Folktales. Philippine folktales are
traditional stories that had humans,
animals, and even plants as
characters. These are fictional tales
that have been modified through
successive retellings before they were
finally recorded and written down.
Most literary works during the
precolonial period were passed
down by word of mouth.
But in some cases, our ancestors were
able to make use of a writing system to
pen down some works of literature. The
writing system used by Filipinos during
the precolonial period is the baybayin.
This was derived from Kavi, a
Javanese (Indonesian) script.
To write, the early Filipinos used
palm eaves or bamboo, which they
wrote on using knives as pens and
sap from plants and trees as ink.
The vowels were a, e/i, and o/u.
The consonants were ba, ka,
da/ra, ga, ha, la, ma, na nga, pa,
sa, ta, wa, and ya. The symbols
used could be modified to
present different vowel sounds.
This could be done with the use
of the kudlit, which may be a
short line, a dot, or even an
arrowhead placed at the top or
the bottom of the symbol being
modified.
Important influences in literary
texts during the pre-colonial
period are the following:
1. Climate
2. Source of income (fishing,
farming, etc.)
3. Ideologies, distinct
characteristics, and type of
government
4. Religious beliefs
5. Geographical location
"Gods and Goddesses of
Philippine Mythology"
Filipinos practiced worshipping
gods and goddesses during the
precolonial period. This practice is
known as animism, which is a
belief that souls or spirits exist in
plants, animals, or objects.
In the Philippines, deities vary in
different regions.
"Ancient Tagalog Deities"
Kaluwalhatian is the term
used to refer to the home of
ancient Philippine gods and
goddesses.
1.Bathala or Bathalang Maykapal is
the king of the gods in Tagalog
myths. He married a mortal, with
which he had three children: Apolaki
(god of war and guardian of the sun),
Mayari (goddess of the moon), and
Tala (goddess of the stars).
2. Apolaki and Mayari (or Adlaw
and Bulan in Visayan) ruled the
earth at different times This is
because of a conflict between
them when Bathala died and he did
not pass the title to any of his
children.
3. Tala is the goddess who
warns Mayari that the sun
god is gone and that it is
safe for her to come out
along with the stars.
4. Amihan is believed to be a
bird, which is said to be the
first creature that inhabited
the earth. It is linked to the
story of creation of the
Tagalogs.
5. The Marias
a. Maria Makiling is the diwata who guards
Mount Makiling in Laguna.

b. Maria Cacao is the guardian of Mount


Lantoy in Cebu. Her realm is the cacao
plants. which are used by Filipinos for
famous chocolate delicacies.
c. Maria Sinukuan is the
guardian of Mount Arayat in
Pampanga. She brings
abundant harvests from trees in
the mountain.
6. Bacunawa, or the "moon
eater," is the god of the
underworld. Believed to have
an image of a serpent or
dragon, he is the one
responsible for eclipses.
