BAYONA, Jorge. Patricio Mariano’s Juan Masili o ang pinuno ng tulisan and the “Golden Age” of Vernacular-Language Fiction in the Philippines. Estud. Asia Áfr. [online]. 2025, vol.60, n.3, e3088.  Epub 06-Oct-2025. ISSN 2448-654X.  https://doi.org/10.24201/eaa.v60i3.e3088.

Patricio Mariano’s novella Juan Masili o ang pinuno ng tulisan is an example of the “Golden Age” (ca. 1900-1921) of vernacular fiction in the Philippines. It showcases the author’s desire to portray the experiences of marginalized social groups that experienced the abuses of the wealthy and powerful, and their attempts to resist this mistreatment. A product of interaction between Tagalog and Spanish, this translation attempts to preserve the evidence of Spanish loanwords that were not fully incorporated into Mariano’s Tagalog.

Palabras llave : Tagalog; anti-colonial literature; civil guard; foreign words; colonialism.
