N2 - "Literature has always been part and parcel of the Philippine curriculum. That should be the case, of course, because literature is the proverbial soul of the nation. To speak of Philippine literature, for example, is to plumb the depths of the Filipino soul, and to read the literatures of other nations is to know about their cultures even from a distance. It should be noted, however, that many literary textbooks have failed or refused to deal with the complexity of a continually evolving field. These books have only settled for the classical and the canonical; thus, ignoring the emerging genres." ER -
