The eras Phillipine literature have gone through were the ones who made our literature one of the best. Many writers rose up to fame as eras change from one culture to another. Ever since, the literature Philippines have, is one of the things we Filipinos should be proud of.

Eras of the Philippine Literature

Pre-Colonial Period (years before 1565)
● The literature this time was principally oral.
● Topics of the literary pieces were mostly about the daily lives of the Filipinos.
● Riddles, proverbs, sayings, and folk songs rose up to fame during this time.

Spanish Period (1569-1898)
● During this time, Doctrina Christiana, a book of prayers and doctrines was the first book to be printed out in the Philippines.

American Period (1898-1941)
● In this time, the Americans introduced the schools and the English language to the Filipinos.
● Literary pieces by the Filipinos were so abundant, therefore, this was the most productive era.

Japanese Period (1941-1945)

● Haiku, senryu and tanka from the Japanese literature were introduced to the Filipinos.

Martial Law Period (1965-1989)

What is qualitative research?

A type of research that uses words, opinions and experiences instead of merely statistics. It is a broad approach that encompasses many research method and can be used as a back up to quantitative research.

FUNDAMENTALS OF RESEARCH

1. Meaning not number
Qualitative research deals with words and images rather than numbers. Since qualitative research topics aim to understand thoroughly the experiences and perceptions of the target participants, it mainly gives the readers the data that a certain phenomona may be solved through the information gathered from the participants.

2. No single answer
Different perceptions and views will be gathered to be connected and come up with theories and possibe solutions. Various answers from the participants about the phenomenon could be catered and gathered as long as it is plausible, coherent and grounded in the data.

3. Context is important
The third fundamental implies that data should have something that gives the readers further understanding by giving contexts connected to the subject matter. Furthermore, the data acknowledge the subjectivity. Therefore, the researchers take the subjectivity as a factor which will lead to in-depth analysis instead of a bias that needs to be removed.

4. Ontological and epistemological assumptions
The fourth fundamental states that the assumptions which will be generated through qualitative research must be supported by asking the nature of reality, what are the things possible to know, and even the possible methods needed to create meaningful knowledge.

5. Subjectivity and reflexivity
The fifth fundamental conveys that the researcher and the participants bring their own, histories, assumptions, values, perspectives and policies into the research. On the other hand, reflexivity refers to the process of critically reflecting on the knowledge that the researchers produce and the role in producing knowledge.

Based on the definition of http://www.vocabulary.com, an eruption is an explosion of steam and lava from a volcano. This word is also used for other explosions, such as “an eruption of emotions.” If there’s an eruption of a volcano, you don’t want to be anywhere near it.

It is important to cite different safety precautions during a disaster. When a volcano erupts, all of us don’t want to be caught right? To be safe, here are the things on what a person should do when a volcano erupts.

What to do before the eruption?

• Prepare your personal things.

This include food, medicine, clothes and first aid kit.

• Always stay updated for safety instructions of the authority.

You can be updated through watching daily news on the television or listening to the radio.

• Pack a first aid kit.

This is completely necessary to everyone since we are prone to injuries during the time of the disaster.

Autobiography: My Journey Up To Now

My real and full name is Demy Genne Sarabillo Ratilla. Born in May 20, 2001 in now the capital city of Bangsamoro Organic Law, Cotabato City. I am 17 years old and a few months from now, I will turn 18. I am standing with a height of 5’9. Since then, from kindergarten to junior highschool, I lived with my parents. My father had always been there to take me to school everyday with his car.

In my elementary days, I studied in Sarmiento Central Elementary School. I have been exposed to some contests back then. When I got into highschool, I studied in Notre Dame of Sarmiento Incorporated. Highschool days were one of my treasured memories because all of the laughter, sorrow and heartbreaks were the ones who shaped up myself to become a more mature and strong individual. After I moved up from junior high school to senior high school, I moved in Davao City to take up STEM in University of the Immaculate Conception.

I want to become a pilot and travel around the world. I am doing my best as I study because I know in myself that education is your power and it is part of your journey in becoming what you want to be. Work hard and fly!
