bankbet99: The Philippines was forcibly occupied by Spain as early as 1570. While carrying out military occupation, political enslavement and economic plunder, it also carried out cultural aggression. They tried their best to promote "Eurocentrism", banned the national language and script of the Philippines, and implemented enslavement education.The process of modern Philippine literature being influenced by Western literature is very obvious. After the Spanish colonists invaded the Philippines, a large number of prayer books, saints, dramas about the death of Jesus, and anti-Muslim dramas were spread. At the same time, Philippine legends of chivalrous heroes and knight literature in the Middle Ages of Spain and France are popular among the people. However, this kind of literature describing the bravery and love stories of knights has incorporated the spirit of Muslim anti-Catholicism and anti-colonial rule of the Philippines.In the early 19th century, the work of the patriotic poet Francisco Baltasar (1785~1862) written in Tagalog, the local language, appeared in the Philippines. He was born in a blacksmith's family in the village of Pangyina in Biga City, Bulacan Province, worked as a helper and went to prison. In prison, he wrote a long narrative poem "Florandi and Lola" (1838), with Europe as a back, describing the struggle of Albanians against alien slavery, in order to express the Filipino people's anti-Spanish rule and hope for national independence. . The long poem impresses readers with the beautiful and vivid local language, so the writer is hailed as the "King of Tagalog Poets".In the 19th century, the Philippine national movement continued to rise, and a group of patriotic poets and writers against colonialism emerged in the literary world. The most outstanding of them was Jose Rizal (1861~1896). His novels "Don't Offend Me" and "Insurgents" played an important role in the Philippine National Liberation Movement. After his sacrifice, he was revered as a national hero and founding father of the Philippines.During this period, the writer Pedro Apaterno (1858~1911) created the collection of poems "Jasmine" (1880) and the novel "Nina". The works showed their love for the mountains, rivers, nation and life of the motherland. Said that his creation embodies "the individuality of the Filipino." Andrés Bonifacio (1863-1897) was a poet of worker origin who was framed and sacrificed in an armed uprising. His poems showed his loyalty to his motherland. Jose Balma (1876~1903), Fernando Mar Guerrero (1873~1929), and Cecilio Apostol (1877~1938) are all lyric poets, and they are called "Poetry Three outstanding". Their respective creations of "Philippines", "My Country", and "To Rizal" are full of patriotic passion and embody the spirit of the times.In 1901, the Philippines became a colony of the United States, English gradually replaced Spanish, and Philippine literature entered the modern stage.
