“… Filipinos were wearing bark and woven cloth and gold, bronze, stone and shell hair ornaments, earnings, pectoral disks, bracelets, finger rings and imported beads, and mined and worked gold for jewelry and iron for tools and weapons; they filed, stained, blackened or chipped their teeth and decorated them with gold, and had been chewing betel nuts for 3,000 years; they owned tens of thousands of valuable Chinese porcelain jars and plates but cooked in a type of local pot with a history going back to 1,000 B.C.; they deformed skulls, removed them, preserved them, and buried their dead supine, prone or flexed in caves, graves, jars or coffins, and disinterred them, reburied and venerated their bones.”

Through these studies, much can be reliably inferred about pre-colonial Philippine Literature from an analysis of collected oral lore of Filipinos whose ancestors were able to preserve their indigenous culture by living beyond the reach of Spanish colonial administrators and the culture of sixteenth-century Europe.

Paruparong Bukid
Paruparong bukid na lilipad-lipadSa gitna ng daan papaga-pagaspas
Isang bara ang tapisIsang dangkal ang manggas
Ang sayang de kolaIsang piyesa ang sayad
May payneta pa siya — uy!May suklay pa man din — uy!
Nagwas de-ohetes ang palalabasinHaharap sa altar at mananalamin
At saka lalakad nang pakendeng-kendeng.

Halika na Neneng at tayo'y magsimbaAt iyong isuot ang baro mo't saya
Ang baro mo't sayang pagkaganda-gandaKay ganda ng kulay -- berde, puti, pula.
Ako'y ibigin mo, lalaking matapangAng baril ko'y pito, ang sundang ko'y siyam
Ang lalakarin ko'y parte ng dinulangIsang pinggang pansit ang aking kalaban.

As literary woks created in the setting of society where the resources for economic subsistence—land, water and forest—were communally owned, the oral literature of the pre-colonial Filipinos bore the marks of the community.
![Page 16: Oral Lore From Pre-colonial Times](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022081416/55cf97ae550346d03392fac5/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
At this phase of literary development, any member of the community was a potential poet, singer, or story-teller as long as he knew the language and had been attentive to the conventions of the forms.
