HI RICH
YOU SAID
YOU SAID
you say this and I say that. It all comes from different people from the PI and nothing is constant. There are no absolutes.
Go Search the Eskrima Digest for Moro and see how upset some Filipinos get about the term.
REMEMBER THE MORO'S ARE A MINORITY IN THE pi MAYBE only 5% or less...
The term moro can not be derogatory, evidence of this include the " muslims" independence movement calling themselves the MILF the moro islamic liberation front...
also in chavacano it simply means muslim but as i have said earlier many of the rich (higherclass) moros want to be called muslim... but the majority of the people in zamboanga and basilan use the term MORO..
also the term moromoro is used for our plays and dances so there is no way this term is derogatory in any way
thanks
Terry..
