Default To Moro or not to Moro ?

Zamboanga , I am sure that gives a few the chills, not all know that MILF word is not what we think here in California it is ... I have a question, at one point I was speaking to a American-Filipino (born in PI) and when I said Moro he wasnt very happy with the word I used to describe the ,,Muslim people living in the south parts of the Philippines, mainly Mindanao,, he admonestated me saying that calling them ,,Moro ,, is like saying ,,savages,,. Henever give into my theory that Moro comes from spanish ,,Moorish,, (a word to describe anyone of Islamic faith) but on the same time I see description of institution where I see the word Moro like Bangsamoro, MILF and so on ... Enlighten me, please ?

radu,

you are right about the history of the term moro (Philippine history books and online information will bear this out).

i guess the person you were talking to was non-moro, never lived in mindanao and didn't take his history lessons seriously.

if your friend cares to know more about the moros ask him to visit www.bangsamoro.com. The following definition are from that site:

Moro. n. - a citizen of moroland;
Bangsamoro. n. - a proud race of proud moros.

haha radu, you made my day

pwede ser mi amigo. you can pass yourself as a zamboangueño.

instead of the curacha you should try our satti - mas sabroso - the hottest and the best dish in town.

santiki my friend!

Well, I hope Moroland stays safe with the earthquake disasters going on right now ... so I guess I`ll rather have you over in Transylvania and skip the satti for a very bloody steak , oops pork on the menu ...
