 Literature of the Philippines - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The literature of the Philippines started with fables and legends of pre-colonial Philippines down to the Mexican (New Spain) and Spanish influences, but there was a pre-hispanical Writing System.
Classical literature (José Rizal, Pedro Paterno, Jesús Balmori, Huerta, Farolán, Licsi, Lumba, Castillo etc.) and historical documents (national anthem, Constitución Política de Malolos), were written in Spanish, which is no longer an official language.
Ironically, a greater portion of Spanish literature by native Filipinos was written during the American commonwealth period because the Spanish language was still predominant for the Filipino intellectuals.

Critics may exclude works from the classification "literature", for example, on the grounds of a poor standard of Grammar and Syntax, of an Verisimilitude or disjointed Plot, or of inconsistent or unconvincing Characterization.

There may be a growing trend for literature today to go back to the oral, that is to say, to move from the text to its performance, to poetry recited and intoned, or story read aloud, with the appropriate tone of voice and gesture and action.
Yet, at their core, the value of either language or medium is the same: in one, literature says in words the unsayable; in the other, “virtual” literature expresses in image and music and action or gesture the inexpressible.
Literature is conquest of the future; it changes because that is the human condition, restless, never still.

 The Literary Forms in Philippine Literature
Literature in this period may be classified as religious prose and poetry and secular prose and poetry.
American influence was deeply entrenched with the firm establishment of English as the medium of instruction in all schools and with literary modernism that highlighted the writer's individuality and cultivated consciousness of craft, sometimes at the expense of social consciousness.

 Waray-Waray language - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The function of Tagalog's ay is rather a marker of sentence inversion, which is regarded as a literary form but somewhat less common in spoken Tagalog.
The Waray-Waray language in comparison would express "She is beautiful" only as "Mahusay hiya" or sometimes "Mahusay iton hiya" (iton functioning as a definite article of hiya, she), since Waray doesn't have a present-tense copula or even an inversion marker.
As in other Philippine languages, attributive statements are usually represented in predicate-initial form and have no copula at all.

We ought to ponder on this political ploy of exalting a language and literature above the rest, calling it national in scope when it is actually regional in content; branding it all encompassing in comprehensiveness when it is parochial in soul and psyche and mind.
In addition, it is the tendency of most schools to adopt a “Speak English campaign,” or a “Magsalita ng Filipino” campaign with the singular purpose of propagating the two languages to the detriment of the native tongue.

There is now a decline in the use of some languages, like Capampangan and Pangasinan, and this has resulted in the loss of literature and the diminution of the richness and history of a culture that reflect the age-old values of a free people.
Besides this decline in the spoken language, there is also a dearth in Pangasinan literature and even Pangasinan folk songs are no longer heard, even in rare cultural presentations.
The problem has become so evident that the city council of the city of San Fernando has seen fit to integrate the Capampangan language city schools and the Pampanga provincial council is supposedly set to do the same.

From what i read, Tagalog was choosen because it had the longest literature heritage of all languages of the Philippine islands and that was already widely used during the spanish revolution movement and i think i read that Tagalog was not as diversifed in dialect as the Bisaya languages.
