Philippine Literature is literature that is associated with the Philippine's Pre-Colonial, Colonial periods, and on to the present. In this poster a very known person is shown, he is known as the Philippine National Hero because of how he fought for our country's freedom in a silent but powerful way back when the Spanish colonized us. He wrote two well-known novels showing how the Spaniards were and how we should fight for our country, and these novels are Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.

The book symbolizes the fact that these works greatly influenced literature in our time. The bright aura and the window tell us that Noli and El Fili served as a light to ignite the burning valor within us. We can also see a key, this emphasizes the fact that literature, in general, is a key to understanding the world better. And of course, Philippine literature is indeed beautiful as for the fact that it is represented by me. 

This photo mirrors how Basilio went through his childhood life. As her mother and brother died, he felt the loneliness, the anger, the pain and the eagerness to claim justice for his family.

Blood hath become beauty

This song that I covered is the theme song for the legendary Filipino literary piece, “Florante at Laura” written by Francisco Balagtas. This song lets the two lovers in the story, Florante and Laura, express their feelings for each other. 

Nobody yet knows who I am , a poem by Jose Garcia Villa: I see this doveglion poem as an existential piece. It talks about the subject of mortality, the beauty of life, and the fear of death all at once. Knowing we have so much life in us, but knowing we’ll eventually all be taken by death. It also talks about identity, thinking that no one really knows who you are, but also your own self not knowing who YOU are. Elements: Bleeding Heart Pigeon: A symbol of passion, displays a bleeding heart. Represents how filipinos are seen, rare but outstanding. Can only be found in the Philippines. Kalachuchi: A flower traditionally offered to the dead. So much life, so vibrant, yet seen as something for the dead. Comma: The writer is the comma poet. Relevance of the images to the poem: The art is existential, so is the poem.
