The Moro-moro (Santiago City)

 

The Moro-moro

The earliest known form of organized theatre is the comedia, or moro-moro, created by Spanish priests. In 1637 a play was written to dramatize the recent capture by a Christian Filipino army of an Islamic stronghold. Nowadays, you can see this festivity ONLY in Santiago City, Philippines.
