E. Abstraction
Philippine theater began just like any other genre of literature—with precolonial
indigenous drama. These constitute rituals, verbal jousts or games, and songs and dances
praising their respective gods. Eventually, when the Spaniards came, these indigenous
dramas were discarded and were changed into mainly two categories: the comedy or
komedya and the zarzuela or sarswela. These were dramas that were used to capture the
imaginations and hearts of the Filipinos, whom the Spaniards have just colonized. Aside
from providing entertainment to the people from the pueblos (and also capturing their
affection), these also serve as teaching tools for the religion that they brought with them,
which is Christianity.
