DragunWF | Welcome!

Pre-Colonial Period

This time period was back when Filipinos were just tribal people and our literature was mainly based on oral traditions uninfluenced by outsiders.

Spanish Period

This time period was around the time the Spanish arrived at the Philippine islands. Christianity, theatrical forms, and Spanish traditions were introduced to the Filipino people.

American Period

This time period is around the time when the Americans pushed the Spanish out of the Philippines. This was the time when radios, American influence on clothing, and food came to a rise on the Filipino people.

Japanese Period

This time period was around World War 2 when the Japanese occupied the Philippines. This was a dark time where many lives has been lost and when the media was surpressed.

Martial Law Period

This period was around Ferdinand Marcos's reign. The country went through a lot of censorship and hardships. The media during this time period was fully censored.

Post-Martial Law Period

This period was around the end of Marcos's dictatorship. Censorship was lifted and the freedom of expression, speech, and of the press were reinstituted. This was also around the time when the internet went through a surge of growth in interest to the Philippines.

Question

"If you were given the chance to live in one of the periods in the evolution of the media in the Philippines, which period would you like to experience living in? Why?"

My Answer

Personally, I would definitely like to experience living in the post-martial law period. I think it would be quite fascinating to experience living at the start of the internet where there are many wonderful opportunities to be taken.

In addition to that, compared to the other time periods; The post-martial law period is also when our country is at the most peaceful state. So of course, I'd rather live in this time period when our risk of death is low.
