Filipino modernist poetry in Spanish has been accused of being an unreflective imitation of Latin American modernist poetry and of being escapist and foreign-influenced. In this work, we conduct a comparison between a corpus of Filipino modernist sonnets in Spanish and another of sonnets by two of the Latin American literary figures most influential modernists in the Philippine literature: Rubén Darío and José Santos Chocano. Using digital methodologies, we compare the metrics and themes of both corpora and highlight that, if indeed the aesthetics of Rubén Darío and José Santos Chocano influence Filipino sonnets, an original contribution of Filipino sonnets is that they incorporate pre-Hispanic meters, besides placing much more emphasis on issues of construction and national assertion.
