When OP says Shakespeare, he means the best. Death of A Salesman and Long Day's Journey into Night are better than anything Tennessee Williams wrote

If you mean “best playwright” I’d say Arthur Miller in terms of notoriety and success, though quite frankly I don’t like him that much. If you mean just “best writer overall” I’d say Herman Melville reflexively, but there are other good choices like William Faulkner.

If the English had Shakespearean we have Awit. Pic related is the Shakespeare of the Philippines. Its just an Romeo and Juliet except it was situated in a magical place called "Albaniya" yep thats right this fucking hack put his settings on Albania.

We read it in 8th grade but we never really took serious of this guy and more on our national hero Jose Rizal who write Noli me Tangere and El Filibusterismo.

Where can I learn Tagalog? I'm 1/4 Filo but never cared to read or learn about my grandmother's national literature until now.

You could just learn Tagalog in Philippines bro wtf. Btw just kidding.

Mas mabuti mag-aral ka sa Pilipinas kaysa diyan sa asan ka ngayon. Kung busisihin madali ka pa mahasa sa pagtatagalog kung nandito ka sa pilipinas. O kung wala kang pili sa duolingo nalang at tsaka nood din ng mga pelikula.

Don't bother, Filipino is dead come 20 years. Kids do not speak it anymore, parents only teach whatever screams I am rich and not like the common man. Pinoys are weird, they are at the same time the most self-hatingest population, yet unaware of their raging jingoism.
