RIZAL’s VIEW MORGA’s VIEW

This fish that Morga mentions, that
cannotbe good until it begins
to
rot, is bagoong[salted and fermented
fish or shrimp pasteused as a

ESSAY. What are the major goals of Rizal in writing the Annotations of Antonio
Morga’s Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas?
_________________________________________________________________________
To awaken the unconsciousness of the Filipinos of their glorious ways of the past.
Rizal intent was not only to provide the Filipino people their early history, a pre-Spanish
history, but to present to them their own authentic culture and identity. And Rizal wanted to
show to the filipino that we have our own culture. And Rizal correct some misinformation to
avoid conflic and to have more accurate information for our history.

CONTENT ANALYSIS. What do you think is the meaning of Rizal’s statement:

“If the book (Sucesos…) succeeds to awaken your consciousness of
our past, already effaced from your memory, and to rectify what has been
falsified and slandered, then I have not worked in vain, and with this as a
basis, however small it may be, we shall be able to study the future”?
In this statement, Jose Rizal meant that his works will be used as an instrument for the
Filipinos to be conscious of our past and really understand the real events that has happened
before. He wants his fellow Filipinos to be aware of their noble origin and the hardships of our
ancestors through his works. In this way, the Filipino people would be able to understand the
past and would be more knowledgeable about the present and the future

REFLECTION. Discuss the points of Rizal in saying that “the native populations in
the archipelago were economically self-sufficient and thriving and
culturally lively and colorful.”

Despite the colonizers’ claim that they were solely responsible for refining the Philippine
islands, Rizal’s beliefs say otherwise. For him, the native populations of the Filipinos were self-
sustaining and customarily spirited - it was because of the Spanish colonization that the
Philippine’s rich culture and tradition faded to a certain extent. In order to support this
supposition, Rizal went to look for a reliable account of the Philippines in the early days and at
the onset of Spanish Colonization. Some references say that while in Europe, Rizal came
across research papers published by eminent European scientists about ethnic communities in
Asia - one of them was Dr. Ferdinand Blumentritt, author of “Versucheiner Ethnographie der
Philippinen.” Rizal wrote to him and that was how their friendship began. It was Dr. Blumentritt,
a knowledgeable Filipinologist, who recommended Dr. Antonio Morga’s Sucesos de las Islas
Filipinas, which, according to many scholars, had an honest description of the Philippine
situation during the Spanish period.
