Philippines literature: 4 stories you should know

what is Philippines literature like? In this video I talk about four stories from Philippines fiction to give you a snapshot view of literature and storytelling tradition in the Philippines. These stories will give you a good idea of Philippines fiction and literature and it will also help you understand the country, its people and history better. Philippines is one of my favorite countries on Earth because the people are friendly and really down to earth. Learning the literature is a way to connect more with their culture and way of thinking.
