Savage Image of Filipino Moros Called A Myth By Sociologist
The warlike image most Christian Filipinos hold of the predominantly Muslim Filipinos (Moros) on the islands of Mindanao and Sulu, is something of a myth, a sociologist said Friday night.
Charles K. Warriner, associate professor of sociology, told club members.
"The Maranaos owe allegiance to Islam, but they have been fairly well isolated from the Middle East until recent years. Most Christian Filipinos believe the Moros are of different stock and philosophies, but this is something of a myth.
Prof. Warriner, who spent the 1958-59 school year in the Philippines on a Fullbright grant, explained that after Magellan discovered the Philippines in 1520, Spanish missionaries began Christianizing efforts. Most of the islanders were converted, but the Maranao and a few other groups fiercely resisted Spanish religious, military and political domination.
"THIS FICTITIOUS MORO is a product of the fear and anxieties of the three-hundred years' war between the Spanish and the ancestors of the present Muslims, of the suspicions and hostilities of Christians toward non-Christians and of the economic, social and political problems of the Philippines," he said.

PROF WARRINER said Maranao Moros in Marawi Citv were friendly.
"Every house is a place of penny minutia," he said. The women sell two or three cigarettes at a time, matches, Pepsi Cola, and such. One of Prof. Warriner's slides showed several houses with Pepsi Cola signs in front.
