Two of the most famous epics in Philippine literature are "Biag ni Lam-ang" from the Ilocos region and "Hinilawod" from the Visayas region. These epics showcase the rich cultural heritage, traditions, and values of the Filipino people. Both epics are valuable literary works that have been passed down from generation to generation through oral tradition.

Trace the development of Philippine literature from pre-colonial times to contemporary times?

Philippine literature in pre-colonial times consisted of oral traditions, epics, and folklore passed down through generations. During Spanish colonization, literary works were predominantly written in Spanish and focused on religious themes.

Contemporary Philippine literature is diverse, with writers exploring various themes and genres in multiple languages, reflecting the country's complex history and cultural influences.
