Spanish moro policy
• 16th Century – Moro-Christian confrontation began when Spain established
her sovereignty in Visayas and Luzon and sought to extend it to Mindanao
and Sulu as well.

 COLONIZATION
AND TRADITION
Four things to accomplish by Spaniards with respect to the moros

1. Get them to acknowledge Spanish sovereignty over their territory.

2. Promote trade with them, limiting their trade to the Philippine islands
and exploding natural resources of Moroland with a view to their
commercial exploitation.
3. Bring and end to Moro “piracy” against Spanish shipping and an end
to Moro raids on the Christianized settlements of the Visayas and
Southern Luzon.
4. Hispanize and Christianize the Moros, along the same lines followed
with respect to other lowland Filipino (Indo) groups.
