 Komedya comes from the 16th century Spanish comedia (play). It is a play written
in verse which uses traditional methods of the marcha (march) for entrance or exit,
Batalia (choreograph fighting) and magia (magical effects). It is one of the colorful
theatrical traditions in the Philippines used by the Spanish as the method to
spread Christianity. This theatrical form describes the conflicts of Christians and
Muslims. This theatrical performance spread instantly but was criticized of its lack
of national importance and realism.
Two Types of Komedya:
1. Secular Komedya - usually performed in town’s celebration. An example popularized in
1600’s is the “Moro Moro” that use stories that revolve around kings, queens, princes,
princesses, animals, and supernatural beings. Most of the time, it portrays the clash
between Christians and Muslims. Another example is “Tibag or Arakyo” during
Santacrusan.
2. Religious Komedya - mostly performed to enhance religious festivities. It focuses on the
life of religious icons. Examples are Siete Palabras, Comedia De San Miguel and
Senakulo, the Lenten presentation of Passion of Christ.
 Sarsuela is an art form of lyric theatre drama, comical in nature and it is
incorporated with singing, dancing, and dialogue. It is a play in prose. Sarsuela
originated in the Philippines in the 1800’s. It portrays the typical Filipino realities
stories and social relations which viewers can relate in their lives such as
elections, marriage and family, vices, and values. Walang Sugat is one of the most
famous Sarsuela in the country.
 Bodabil is another stage shows that became popular during Japanese period
