Comparison and contrasting of RIZAL’S and MORGA’S views on Philippine culture.
RIZAL’S
In lifestyle:
● A salted and dried sardine is what a
lawlaw is called.
In language:
● Rizal then said that in Tagalog, a house is
called "pamamahay". Rizalalso said that it
is impossible that bahandin has been
printed for bahayin because it is an
obsolete derivative. He also added that
"asawa" is the term called for the wife of a
native man.
In terms of beliefs:
● Rizal, on the other hand, says that
because of cleanliness, Indios avoid
bathing during siesta, after lunch, the first
two days of catarrh,and so on. There were
also friars who were eaten by crocodiles
while Indios managed to flee. These
priests, known as "Catalona/Babaylan,"
are well-dressed wealthy individuals who
have been overlooked since they are
considered loafers. As an example,
Francisco Amandao sacrificed half of his
body to theAnitos, and the other hall was
later paralyzed.
In terms of social:
● according to Rizal, "namamahay" slaves
still exist, but they are now knownas
"kasama," and they are now partners or
laborers of a capitalist or farmer. When a

In lifestyle:
● A lawlaw is a small fish that is caught,
dried in the sun or in the air, and then
prepared in a variety of ways. Morga
appears to refer to Batangas tawilis or
dilis.
In language:
● He said that a house with the parents and
children in the room together is called
"bahandin". Also, according to Morga,
"Inasawa''is a wife married to a native
man.
In terms of beliefs:
● Morga believes that taking a bath without
regard to whether this might be injurious
to their health. Crocodiles that are
larger than the indigenous are
superior. Even among Christians, these
reptiles are involved in the vows and
execrations administered to their loathed
people.There was also no priest or
religious leader to deal with religious
concerns, except for old men,
sorcerers,and magicians. Furthermore,
people believed in omens and
superstitions, which they were led to
believe by the devil, in order to predict
whether a sick person would live or die.
In terms of social:
● According to Morga, "namamahay"
are individuals who help build their
master's house, frequently serve as
helpers when there are guests, and serve

entails being introduced to a lifestyle that a

master demands it. The husband then
contributes a dowry from his parents,
whereas the bride does not bring anything
until she inherits any from her parents.
Morga further stated that several
principles were known among the people
on each island or province, with some
being more prominent and having
followers, whose families and barrios
obeyed and revered. These known
individuals or families form
friendships and relationships with
each other and sometimes, due to
differences, even wars.
