The aspiring literature from Cebu, which demonstrated and showed capability with an

outstanding economic track record. It is a literature that is vast and have shown many themes regarding

reality for adults and children. For Cebuano literature has undeniably undergone marked changes over the

years, many Cebuano writers especially those that are young embraced less formal forms like free verse

and spoken poetry due to the changes yet still remain wonderful.

The Cebuano writers today not only are free to write how they want to but also what they want to

for there is an huge involvement of topics such as religion, sexuality and etc. Though it can be considered

that the pinnacle of the Cebuano literature was at the of 1900 to 1940 that has been referred to as the

Golden Age of Cebuano Letters and in the Pre-War period referred to as Golden Age of Vernacular

Literature. Even though Cebuano Literature now is not at its peak, it still gives Excellency by the aspiring

works of different Cebuano writers.

Inspiring many other writers’ especially young writers to have a different perspective on normal

or different things to be able to write stories and poems that may become popular to many people likely to

For the Cebuano literature continues to move forward and evolve synchronizing with global

changes, we may see it to be more wonderful in the future considering that other literature also continues

to evolve. Like information revolution will continue to be an influential force in shaping the Cebuano

literature’s future and works.

As Cebuano literature started near those war periods and when other countries tried to

conquer Philippines, the literature likewise evolved to be more realistic with things or how people that

time and how they suffered and experienced joy. And is now expressive and currently focuses on modern

problems.
Its beauty can be shown for its abundance, expansion, refinement and promotion of Cebuano

language. Creating many poems that many can relate to, stories that amazes children, and stories for

adults that struck them reality. For it has a beauty, uniqueness, and amazing characteristics that cannot be

easily expressed.

Even though Cebuano is not that old compared to other literature like the literature in China and

Mesopotamia that started long-long ago, it still possesses uniqueness unlike any other due to many-many

experiences the Cebuano writers had in a short span of years even if it is only contained or from the small

portion of the earth.
