Moro piracy during the Spanish period in the Philippines caused an epoch of wholesale misery for the inhabitants. A Spanish writer described the period as a chapter of Philippine history "written in blood and tears and nourished in pain and suffering" [Fernandez 1979: 203]. Piracy also hampered the social and material growth of the country. But its most devastating effect was the socio-psychological impact of the turmoil in shaping the relationship of the Moro and Christianized inhabitants.
Thus, this essay will attempt to re-examine the history of Moro piracy to determine its
motives and the extent of its impact on the present society.
