written literature are oral literature that have been put in physical record such as manuscripts. historical written documents on indigenous religions in the philippines are almost non-existent due to the destruction brought by spanish colonialists and friars during a 300-year colonial rule, where the spanish destroyed and burned indigenous scripts and places of worship. records of the destruction of the scripts and places of worship have been published by respected historians and anthropologists from various universities. due to this, the oldest surviving written literature of philippine mythologies is written by a spanish priest, as native-written mythologies were intentionally wiped out by the spanish clergy and colonial government. many spanish-written works on the topic of philippine mythologies and pre-colonial people have anti-indigenous opinions, due to the own beliefs of the spanish authors at the time. juan de plasencia wrote the "relacion de las costumbres de los tagalos" in 1589, documenting the traditions of the tagalog people at the time. other accounts during the period are miguel de loarca's "relacion de las yslas filipinas" and pedro chirino's "relacion de las island filipinas" (1604). various books regarding anitism have been published by numerous universities throughout the country, such as mindanao state university, university of san carlos, university of the philippines, ateneo universities, silliman university, and university of the cordilleras. the publication of these books range from the 16th century to the 21st century. specific written literature should not be used as a generalizing asset of a particular story, as stories differ from town to town or village to village, despite the people of a particular area belonging to the same ethnic group. some examples are the story of "bakunawa and the seven moons" and the story of "the tambanokano", which have multiple versions depending on the locality, people's ethnicity, origin of story, and cultural progression.
