    Moro-Moro
    Moro-moro refers to a type of folk drama performed in villages throughout the Philippines,
    usually during fiestas. Although each village’s moro-moro is a little different in terms of
    treatment, all are full of romance and melodrama, and the highpoint is always a battle between
    muslims and Christians.

    The earliest known form of organized theatre is the comedia, or moro-moro,created by Spanish
    priest. In 1637 a play was written to dramatize the recent capture by a Christian Filipino army of
    an Islamic stronghold. It was so popular that other plays were written and staged as folk dramas
    in Christianized villages thoughout Philippines.

    Moro-moro is a secular comedy that dramatizes the war between Christians and Muslims
    through the forbidden love between the prince and the princess. The comedy is resolved with the
    non-christian being converted to Christianity, or through his or her death, immediately followed
    by his or her resurrection.

    Local people write the script, which is in verse , and some performances include quite elaborate
    scenery and costumes.Music and dance are also part of the production. One of the most notable
    moro-moro is held in San Dionisio in Rizal Province, where the drama is performed in the
    church and the village square every spring, usually in April or May
