    RELIVE THE PAST, EMBRACE OUR FUTURE THROUGH PHILIPPINE LITERATURE

    As a famous saying goes,

    "We write from life and call it literature, and literature lives because we are in it."

    What if one day, all of us have forgotten everything about our own literature as a result of
    improving technology? Imagine forgetting those literary pieces that brought us back to the past
    just because we did not espoused the essence of it together with our journey to the future.

    We should embrace our future and relive the past through Philippine literature because it can
    give us a good understanding of how people were living back then.
    It can help us understand how other people lived during those times and how they were
    influenced by what was happening around them.

    By reading these books, we're able to understand more about society, who read these pieces
    back then and what their life was like— because they wrote these stories.

    The Philippines is an interesting country. In one sense, it is a young nation. But in another, it has
    a rich history that goes back to the 3rd century BC. It was colonized by different countries in the
    past and many cultures have influenced and affected its literature. To learn more about this
    fascinating country, we can read some of its books and poems written by authors who were able
    to capture the spirit of their time and place very well.

    We can take Filipino literature as an example. As a whole, we are not quite new to the concept
    of “digital” in our everyday lives. We have seen how it has affected our country, one way or the
    other. But what if we were to approach this idea from a different perspective? What if we were to
    see how digital media can be used to preserve Filipino literature for future generations?

    If we are embracing the future and reliving the past through Philippine literature, would it not
    make sense that this is done digitally? There is no doubt that digital media has changed many
    aspects of our society and because of it, there has been an impact on Philippine Literature.

    The future is what we make of it, and for us Filipinos, a future that relive the past is what we
    want.

    Novels are a big part of our history, of our own literature. A Novel is not a story that is just read,
    it’s a story that is also felt. What we read in novels are the emotions that the author wants to
    convey to the readers. And this is why, in Philippine literature, one of the oldest written
    languages and one of the most creative forms of expression, stories are often told through
    emotions. Stories speak through feelings because they want us to feel what they feel and
    experience what they experienced.
