Answer:
The real issue, is Philippine folk literature even taught to Filipinos? Yes, there are possibly Filipinos who love folk literature but to what extent are they taught? Do they offer any form of interest over English literature?
There are literature classes but Noli Me Tangere and El Filibusterismo are usually the ones taught. Are Filipino poems, prose, drama all taught? There is no issue with Filipino folksongs. They seem to be well-preserved given that Filipinos are avid singers. The issue is written literature like poems and prose other than José Rizal’s pieces.
