The first Spaniard who wrote about Philippine drama, Vicente arrantes, affirmed that all Tagalog Theater
was definitely derived from Spanish theater, and that there was none of it before Spanish contact.
A later more careful scholar, Wenceslao retana, noted that Barrantes proof consisted of arguments
rather than of documents, finally to come to the conclusion that there was no proof that Tagalogs had
any representacion esceica before 1571, When one remembers that the Spaniards had come from ac
try that reached its Siglo de Oro of drama in the 16th and centuries, and that produced Lope de
Vega and Calderon de Barca at that time. then we realize that the drama they were ing for must have
been that which they knew from back home, scripted, staged, costumed Spanish comedias and autos
sacram tales, and which they were of course unlikely to find among Filipinos who were chanting
epics, performing rituals, and celeb ting victories with their own kinds of songs and dances.
