    The document discusses several theatrical forms that developed in the Philippines through influences from Spain and America. Komedya, introduced by Spain in the 16th century, includes both secular plays about conflicts between Christians and Moros, as well as religious plays about the life of Christ or saints. Zarzuela, also from Spain, features songs, dances and social/political commentary. Bodabil, influenced by American vaudeville, incorporates music, dance, comedy and solo performances. These forms demonstrate how Philippine theater has blended foreign and local traditions.
