Ayon sa mga manunulat ang matatawag na tunay na uri ng dula
ay nagsisimula sa mga unang taon ng pananakop ng mga
Amerikano. Bagama’t may mga dulang napanood at
pinaglibangan nang mga katutubong Pilipino, bago sumapit ang
panahong ito‘y ang mga tunay na dulang sinasabing nagtataglay
ng pinakamalalim na pangarap ng isang bansa, naglalarawan ng
sariling kaugalian, naglalahad ng buhay ng katutubong Pilipino
at nagpapakilala ng papupunyagi ng mga tao ng isang bayan
upang mabuhay, ay wala.
Ang pagdating ng mga Kastila sa Pilipinas ay nagbigay ng
panibagong sangkap sa mga katutubong dula. Ang mga dulang
kagaya ng komedya ay kinasangkapan ng mga Kastila upang
mapalaganap ang Katolisismo sa kapuluan. Ang dula sa ating
bansa ay kasintanda ng kasaysayan ng Pilipinas. Bahagi na ito ng
ating tradisyon. Mga tradisyong nagbibigay ng katauhan sa mga
Pilipino. Sa paglipas ng mga taon, nagbabago ang anyo ng mga
dulang Pilipino.
Ngunit iisa ang layunin ng mga mandudula, ang aliwin ang
mga mamamayang Pilipino at higit sa lahat, bigyang buhay
ang mga pangyayari sa buhay Pilipino. Lahat ng itinatanghal
na dula ay naaayon sa isang nakasulat na dula na tinatawag
na iskrip. Ang iskrip ng isang dula ay iskrip lamang at hindi
dula' sapagkat ang tunay na dula ay yaong pinanonood na sa
isang tanghalan na pinaghahandaan at batay sa isang iskrip.

pinatamlay ng sarsuwela ang moro-moro?
 Ano ba ang pinagkaiba ng tema ng
dalawang ito?
 TUNGKOL SAAN ANG SARSUWELA?

Borromeo returned from North America, renamed
himself "Borromeo Lou", and organized what
became the first Filipino bodabil company. The
main showcase of Borromeo Lou's company was
an orchestral band, which played what he called
"Classical-Jazz Music", and variety acts in
between. Borromeo's band is credited as having
popularized jazz in the Philippines. It was also
Borromeo who dubbed the emerging form as
"vod-a-vil", which soon became popularly known
by its Filipinized name, bodabil.
In 1923, there were three theaters in Manila
that were exclusively devoted to bodabil. By
1941, there were 40 theaters in Manila
featuring bodabil shows. The popularity of
bodabil was not confined to Manila stages.
Bodabil routines were also staged in town
fiestas and carnivals. The typical bodabil
shows would feature a mixture of
performances of American ballads, torch
songs, and blues numbers; dance numbers
featuring tap dancers and chorus
girls and jitterbug showcases; and even the
occasional kundiman.
Within that period, established performers such as
Katy de la Cruz and Borromeo Lou continued to thrive.
New stars also emerged, such as the singers Diana
Toy and Miami Salvador; the dancer Bayani Casimiro,
and the magician and Chaplin imitator Canuplin. Many
leading lights of Philippine cinema began their
entertainment careers in bodabil during this period,
such as Rogelio de la Rosa, Leopoldo Salcedo, Dely
Atay-Atayan and Chichay. Bodabil thrived despite the
emergence of Filipino film productions. Many
moviehouses featured bodabil performances in
between screenings, and many film and bodabil stars
frequently crossed over from one genre to the other.
