Comments on: The Tausug People http://moslemenjr.macarambon.com/the-tausug-people/ a pseudo struggle of a Moro youth to self-determination thru blogging Thu, 24 Dec 2009 10:10:41 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Miguel http://moslemenjr.macarambon.com/the-tausug-people/comment-page-1/#comment-43197 Miguel Fri, 23 Oct 2009 13:11:07 +0000 http://moslemenjr.macarambon.com/the-tausug-people/#comment-43197 Hi, just want to say as a Christian Ilocano from Northern Luzon, I wish for the Moro's independence because you DESERVE to have your own government PROVIDED your sultans are not corrupt and your people are ready for self-government. I have learned in school how Spain sold her colonies in the Asia Pacific (Spanish East Indies), even including Mindanao to the Americans, eventhough Mindanao was not fully conquered by the Spaniards because of your people's admirable bravery and strength. This is one of the greatest atrocities committed by European colonizers in Southeast Asia. That is one of the reasons why you deserve to have your own national identity. Peace. May Christians and Muslims respect each other someday.

I have a story to tell why i became part of moro land. i am a man bounded with 3 major culture of Mindanao. I've been staying in moro land for almost 8 years particullarly in Lanao,MSU-Marawi city, and for that i totally break the stigma of having a bad empression about Moro people.Yes! i am a converted christian but my grandparents are natives or Lumad. I belong to a Manobo tribe in Agusan ,even before when i was still a little kid in my system i am already embodied with the spirit of culture and the arts and that i considered as a Gift.. From that point i always admire the Moro culture in the moro land not because im part of cultural working and an artist but Their is something in Moro culture and arts which i'm fascinated about the soul,energy and the true diversity in it. Tausug culture is different becasue by nature they are Nomads they even reached my palce which is very far from them,Butuan city.But no wonder they reached my place because they are sea masters or good in navigating in the sea. From music,dances ,way of dressing or costumes i admire them in a manner of respecting them as a prominent tribe. I reached some point that i made a dance-theater piece of Tausug,linggisan and bola-bola and it won in the prestigeous competition in Mindanao the Sayaw Mindanao in Davao, and its not only once i made it but several times. I hope in the future i can stay in their abode and spent for sometime to understand deeper especially the struggle that they are fighting for. Peace for Moro land. Sai MApiya,madeger mga suad!
