∙ 13y agoThe vast majority of Classical Filipino literature is written in Spanish.
Many of the early Filipino nationalists were masters of the Spanish language, such as Jose Rizal, Juan Luna, Andres Bonifacio, etc.
Books include Noli mi Tangere and El Filibusterismo. Poems include "Filipinas" by Juan Luna which later became our national anthem (originally sung in Spanish).
Unfortunately many of these Spanish-Filipino works are now in storage rooms in the national archives, almost ceasing to exist with the lack of interest in the Spanish language.
There are hundreds of unpublished Spanish literary works by Filipinos in the archives which are only recently been revived.
The oldest and most prestigious literary award in the Philippines is the Premio Zobel, and it is only awarded to Spanish literary compositions by Filipinos.
