THE COLORUM MOVMENTS
The term “colorum” is taken from the Christian prayers ending “in omnia et saecula saeculorum” which means “forever and ever.” Colorum was first given to the cofradia in Southern Tagalog who broke away with Spanish authorities in 1831. In Surigao the Colorum was organized by Geraldo “Andoy” Lasala it was a secret society.
The Colorum fought the longest starting from 1848 up to 1899, then joined the War of Independence, and resumed the struggle after Aguinaldo. They supplied manpower and substantial financing to Gen. Malvar, and continued on their struggle from 1903 to 1913. In Surigao the Colorum extended the fight against the Americans or also known as the Colorum Uprising of 1924.
