Moro vs Filipino

Moro is also a name originating from the Spanish. Should the Moro people change their name too since you advocate not using Filipino?

True, the term Moro is derived from the word Moors. The Moors were African Muslims who ruled Spain for many years. Originally, Moro was a derogatory term for “Filipino” Muslims but was later adopted. I’m sure there are some Moro’s out there who do not like the name. It’s like they were saying, “OK, we are Moro but we will still never bow to you”. The difference between Moro and Filipino is that the Moro refused to bow down to the Spanish and anyone else. That was not the case for the Filipino. Based on those facts, I’m OK with Moro.
