Literature… many have given definitions to this term but some just only get the narrow meaning of it, people say that literature is just a printed words found within the hardbound covers of a books, magazines, etc. but they didn’t know that the true meaning of literature is not only on the written words, phrase or sentence, or paragraphs, it is within every words. It is the orchestration of the manifold but elemental experiences of man, it is the voice of a human heart, blended into the harmonious and desired patterns of expression.

Literature is said to be the product of a nation’s culture and that is true. The nation’s culture is not easily formed it is a decade or centuries of process. A nation’s culture passes through time, torments, wars, and celebrations. It is the witness of every passing of time as it is molded into refinement. A culture can be compared to a “halo-halo,” without the ingredients it will just be an ordinary shred ice with coloring but when mixed together it burst out a different flavor. Like the culture, it is mixed with different beliefs, way of living, activities and practices before it reached the refined culture of a nation.
