#Fransisco Balagtas

[nehruid]

Yk before I was always curious as a heavily whitewashed filipino high schooler that why was works such as Ibong Adarna and Florante at Laura in this layout where it was in this stanza form while Rizal's works such as Noli me Tángere and El Filibusterismo were in a more novel form despite the both of them talking about a narrative.

Now I just realised while studying for exams tomorrow that the reason why is based on the upbringing. Sisiw and Balagtas was taught in the country, Rizal was taught with outside sources, and unlike the two I've listed earlier is that Rizal was far richer in the status he was born in which would've mostly influenced how he wrote his books.

Conclusion: Rizal was a nepo baby that became our national hero

Ibong Adarna: Trivia

Ang Ibong Adarna ay isang pasalaysay na tula na ang buong pamagat ay “Corrido at Buhay na Pinagdaanan nang Tatlong Prinsipeng Magkakapatid na Anak nang Haring Fernando at nang Reina Valeriana sa Kahariang Berbania.”

Walang tiyak na petsa ang tula, at nananatiling lihim ang awtor nito, bagaman may ilang naniniwala na ang nasabing tula ay isinulat ni Huseng Sisiw na palayaw ni Jose de la Cruz.

Si Huseng Sisiw, ayon kay Julian Cruz Balmaseda, ang nagturo umano kay Francisco Balagtas kung paano sumulat ng tula.😊
