Answer:
What are the characteristics of Philippine literature?
The early writings in English were characterized by melodrama, unreal language, and unsubtle emphasis on local color. The literary content later imbibed themes that express the search for Filipino identity, reconciling the centuries-old Spanish and American influence to the Philippines' Asian heritage.
Filipino writers mastered using English and its different techniques in writing, wherein poetry, fiction, drama, and essay was written.
