Literature under the Republic

The United States’ policy was to govern the Philippine Archipelago for the common welfare of the Filipino people and to train the Filipinos for self-governance. The United

States was hoping that the Filipino people would be capable of independence someday. President Mckinley assure that the Philippines are theirs, and so it should not be

exploited, rather to develop, to civilize, to educative and to train the Filipinos in the science of self-governance.

Even President Wilson mentioned that “every step we take will be taken with a view to the ultimate independence of the Philippine Islands”. However, the United sates also had

some other colonial motives which were not so altruistic after all.The subsequent aims of American involvement were to continue the destiny of America

as a world power and to use the Philippines as a source of raw materials for United States industries as well as a market for their manufactured products. Moreover, America aimed to use the Philippines as a military and naval base, and of course, to have a refueling port

for American ships servicing their interest in China.

The United States Military GovernmentDue to the presence of war, America established a military government in the Philippines. The United States President as the Commander- in- Chief of the United States appointed General Wesley Meritt as the first Military Governor. Then he was succeeded by General

Elwell S. Otis.

General Otis was replaced by General Arthur Mac Arthur as the third and last military governor.

The military government was lasted only for three years.

May Lalim ang Batis(Lazaro Francisco)

In Sipolog(from the Bamboo Dancers)(N.V.M Gonzales)

This work is so simple, it's easy to dismiss by a non-careful reader. On an action-level, it's not

lively, but if one is knowledgeable of the historical and cultural contexts its stark metaphors allude to and, in some ways,

illuminate, a very subtle brilliance can be gleaned. It's a more laid-back book than most, and lives more in the gentle surprise of lovely

language and concepts than go-go plot or quirky characters. Probably a book more for

the mind and a creative heart.
