This is a very special article for me, You now why? Because If you believe it takes almost 2 days for me to write this. This is all about the Filipino’s Literature way back before and now. I will write my opinion as a millinial

Filipinos are known as one of the most beautiful features in the world. Not only in behavior, our country is rich in culture and tradition. Immigrants in our country still have those qualities. During our grandparents, courtship and dating were a sacred promise that needed a parent’s blessing. It was also that a wooden decompression and a water-bathing of a young man was a way to show the girl’s sincerity and love to the girl’s parents. It also often produces a letter, giving a blossom flower and the use of a guitar and a singing song that is willing to wait and even your own life will be offered.

One of the good qualities of the Philippines was the dinner table dinners at dinner. While home lighting is cooking dinner. Siblings will be asleep in the preparation of cutlery and furniture that will be used while awaiting their father's tired work. Meet the whole family to greet and kiss. The day of the family is not ending in the gathering alone, they share what happened on their day. Whether bad or good, the parent is always ready to guide them, with every decision and path they will take on their children. The family will not forget to pray for thanksgiving for the blessings and blessings that each person receives from God.

The girls in the field of sports are well known, since childhood, they have been playing “Saranggola”. “Patintero”,”Tumbang Preso”,”Luksong Baka” “Tagu-Taguan” “Palo Sebo” are often played by young Filipinos. Children too respect their parents, which only calls them immediately. The parent also pointed out that any kind of mockery is considered a bad practice. There was no formal education then it was not a pretext to be known to the talent of human well-being.

It is sad to think that these good qualities are gradually disappearing, Here are some of the characteristics of the modern-day philippine that would have been changed and will not be translated into future generations:

Now both young and old are busy playing online games, xbox, tablets, facebook and instagram instead of socializing with others. It’s not bad to enjoy but says that in the proverbs everything is too bad. Even the other parents also differ from time to time. Sometimes the room came out so normal family gathering was gone. Together with one roof but no time to talk.

It is not lost in other Filipinos these good qualities, but because of modernization we forget it. It is not bad but as the time passes, it gets worse. Something is missing and changing, but we always have to remember when we came from. In the country of the East Pearl, the cradle of the heroes is so unpopular and we have a wealth of Philippine wealth. Because of the future we will also be parents, so we do not want to give up the teachings of their homeland. Your parents’ responsibilities will be open tomorrow, you will be the next to the list. The only archer is a good feature and pass on to your child for the future.

Different between past and present philippine literature

Then and Now

Comparing things between the past and modern life, I would say that people are more liberated nowadays.Issues, as implied in the stories we read, evolved with time. They became more personal and intimate. Problems in the past were related to oppression and the need for freedom. After becoming an independent country, problems were focused on personal relationships such as love or lack thereof. I guess that is why people now are more liberated. Freedom was taken to heart and maybe sometimes, abused. We do what we want not thinking of how bad things used to be for the generations before us. People became more open to issues that used to be taboo — sex, forbidden love, and such. Issues that were once taboo became more acceptable in society. It could be openly talked about and people just understood.

The advantage of modern life over the past is that now that we know our strengths, we know that we can fight back. We know that we do not just have to sit down and watch things fall around us because we can do something to stop and maybe prevent it. We are more aware of what we can do; and then there’s the thin line between this being an advantage and a disadvantage. We are so sure of things that we try to control everything. We have a tendency to play god in our lives, and sometimes others’ too.

What does technology have to do with this? It’s made it so easy to express ourselves and consequently, influence others with our way of thinking. For me, this is something positive. It helps to see things in another’s perspective. As long as we keep an open mind about things, this is a good thing.

However, it has also made everything so easy for us that we sometimes lose sight of what is really important.
Technology could turn us into lazy, selfish people who have forgotten the essence of being human. We are always rushing that we forget to stop and appreciate the beauty of life. We have forgotten how to work for things. We end up always taking the easy way out because that is what we are used to. We only look ahead forgetting how our history has made us what we are today. A lot of us have become slaves of technology that we think we cannot live with some of these things. The essentials have evolved as problems have with time. Technology has somewhat made us petty.
