1. WHY DID RIZAL ANNOTATE MORGA'S SUCESOS?


For the reason that Jose Rizal considered Morga’s Sucesos as an
invaluable historical source because it was the earliest written by a
layman. Also, Rizal saw the value of Morga’s work. As such, Ferdinand
Blumentritt suggested thatRizal should write a Philippine history book,
but Rizal felt he neither had the time nor the energy, much less a wide
knowledge of our past, so the next best thing was to annotate Morga’s
Sucesos. And to this, Rizal copied Morga’s book by hand as he was
annotating it.

2. WHY WAS THE CHRISTMAS IN HONGKONG ONE OF THE HAPPIEST


YULETIDE CELEBRATION IN RIZAL'S LIFE?
Primarily, one of the happiest Yuletide or Christmas Celebration in
Rizal’s life was in Hongkong. For the reason that before Christmas of
1891, he was gladdened by the arrival of his father, Francisco Mercado,
his brother, Paciano Rizal and his brother-in-law, Silvestre Ubaldo in
Hongkong. Consequently, his mother, Teodora Alonso and sisters Lucia,
Josefa and Trinidad later on arrived. It was one of the happiest Yuletide
Celebration for Rizal had a family reunion in Hongkong.
