Who lives and breathe in this terrestrial ball.”

B. Discussion
Understanding Folk Speeches
Traditional oral literature – has long existed before the arrival of the colonizers.
This covers the ancient folk literature of the Philippines’ various ethnic groups that
have changed since the Philippines became independent.
The pre-colonial poetry forms played a central part of Filipino community life as
they are means for local history, politics, and culture which had been passed from
generation to generation through word of mouth. They are poetic and contain
rhyme, rhythm, and rhetorical figures to suggest different interpretation to words or to
stir up emotive reactions.
