WHO THE HELL ARE WE…?
Real amusing thoughts; let us be Moros and call the others
Indios. Both were alien anyway but between the two; I’ll prefer to be a Moro. The
Spaniards had a special if not funny way of name-calling their conquered people.
Those they conquered easily as meek as a sheep on the way to the slaughter
house; they call stupid ‘Indios.’ Filipinos are not the first Indios by the way
in fact I think the root word is derived from the word “Indians” of South/Latin
America. Before the marauding sailors of Europe stumbled upon what is later to
become Philippine Archipelago; Europeans were already slaughtering the “Indios”
of North and South America (New World). Except Portuguese Brazil; South America
continue to speak Spanish in fact had Uncle Sam not bought Philippine from
Spain; we will be speaking Spanish not English to this day. We were at one
point in time called “Ectopic Latin Americans.” Manila and Mexico City were
sister cities of the Spanish (Iberian) Empire.
Those that fought the Spanish Empire tooth and nail like the
Muslims of North Africa (Moors of Morocco/Mauritania); they call Moors that was
later shortened by Filipino Indios to Moros.
Since we are neither “Indios” (not Indians) of North and South
American nor Moors (not Africans) of North Africa then what the hell are we? We
are not even Filipinos (not Spanish) from the root word “Prince Philip” of
Spain.
It is about time to not rediscover but discover our true
identity and discard our enslaver’s barbarian skin that Filipino Indios (not
Moros) so proudly display like a priceless heirloom.

an afterthought:
…that the Spaniards should call us Moros and Indios is weird
if not outright stupidly ignorant considering that we have absolutely no
physical resemblance to neither the black Africans nor the Indians of the
American continents but hey; Christopher Columbus is probably the greatest
ignorant ass-hole in all of history calling the natives of the American
continents Indians meaning he had not the slightest idea of India and its
people that he was looking for. The difference is so wide apart; only a
certified moron will make the mistake he did and for later historians to
continue to adhere to an obvious misnomer boggles the mind. We know for
instance that 6 of the supposed magic 19 that made 9/11 happens are alive and
well; the story never changed. We would rather stick to tradition rather than
see the light of truth. It’s insane.
