History and the prewar Cebuano novel. - Alburo, Erlinda K. 4 0 16; 5
ABSTRACT : This article looks into three historical novels by writers in Cebuano as samples of popular fiction produced before the ceond world war : Amando Osorio's Daylinda; Florentino Suico's Batan-On Pa ang Sugbo and Candido Vasquez's Filipinas. This article argues that these three novels were attempts to instruct their readers on events in the past and to instill them a sense of pride of place, within the project of lobbying for Philippine independence.
