"Moros" = Moors (plural noun)
A member of a northwestern African Muslim people of mixed Berber and Arab descent. In the 8th century they conquered the Iberian peninsula, but were finally driven out of their last stronghold in Granada at the end of the 15th century.

That was the name that they applied to northern Africans, presumably derived from Moroccans. They were not referring to the Philippine Moros.
