 • THE CONTRIBUTION OF JOSE E. MARCO TO THE
PHILIPPINE HISTOGRAPHY

Jose E. Marco is one of Philippine historiography’s greatest mysteries. All we know is

that he was one of the most successful forgers, having created many fake documents
in a career that spanned half a century. His most famous invention- such as the “code
of kalantiaw “ ( a pre-spanish set of laws from Batan, aklan) and “La Loba Negra” (a
novel supposed to have been written by the martyred fr. Jose A. Burgos) – are still in
some textbook. During the framing of the Cadiz Constitution of 1812. Two years ago
that the manuscript was yet another forgery by Marco. Like land mines, these Marco
manuscript lie in wait for the unsuspecting or excitable researcher who will use the
material at his peril. Perhaps his forgiveness were made possible by our desire for pre-
spanish documents, by our wish to have a novel by father Burgos, by our wanting to
have the documents that fill in the gaps in Philippine History.
• More importantly, it had some rare materials not found in any Filipiniana Library in Manila.
One of the surprises was finding a 361-page type written copy of Marcos “A Philippine
Folklore” (Bacolod: 1940), containing practically all that known on his subject: “in the
archives of the Indies in Seville, Spain exist a rare document which bear direct connection
with the fate of the first expeditionary forces of Spain which landed in Cebu. Apparently
the curious document was prepared by a Spaniard named Don Pedro Arcano, a few years
after the return in (SIC) Spain of the first expeditionary force. The document addressed to
the King of Spain is headed with a sort of a petition, and sent out of the country. This
document appears to be dated February 1660. The copy from which this narrative was
obtained was one furnished by Don Wenceslao Retana in the year 1902, and given to the
author. Senor Retana did not say how the original came to the Archives in Seville, Spain.
“Magellan’s refusal to pay the anchorage fees charged by Moroporo and Tupas. Tupas
requested Magellan’s aid again. The murder of the remainder of the Spaniards who
survived the battle of Mactan. It is also about Balangaw (Baptized Maria Magdalena), the
14 years-old daughter of Tupas, who was “instructed to stay on board the ship, to intertain
the Spaniards there with songs and dances and be as good as possible to them. Two-thirds
of the survivors headed by Barboza and Serrano disembarked to receive from Tupas a gift
for the King of Spain. Balangaw was left to the rudest men and become “the object of the
most shameful and infamous abuses on here chastity by the crew.” She jumped from the
ship naked and swam to shore, where she saw the pit where the dead Spaniards had been
 • KNOW TO BE FILIPINO PEOPLE BEFORE SPANIARDS ARRIVE IN
1521

April-May 2016- Position of tribes – on the Spaniards, the population of the Philippines seems to have been
distributed by tribes in much the same manner as at present. Then, as now, the Bisayas occupied the central
islands of the archipelago and some of the northern coast of Mindanao. The Bikols, Tagalogs, and Pampangos
were in the same parts of Luzon as we find them today. The Ilokanos occupied the coastal plain facing the
China Sea, but since the arrival of the Spaniards they have expanded considerably and their settlement are
now numerous in Pangasinan, Nueva Vizcaya, and the Valley of the Cagayan. The number of people – these
tribes which to-dry number nearly 7,000,000 souls, at the time of Magellan’s discovery aggregated not more
than 500,000. An early enumaration of the population made by the Spaniards in 1591, which included
practically all of these tribes, gave a population of less than 700,000. The Spanish expeditions found many
coast and islands in the Bisayan group without inhabitants. At certain points, like Limasaua, Butuan, and
Bohol, the natives were more numerous, and Cebu was a large and thriving community; but the Spaniards
had nearly everywhere to search for settled places and cultivated Lands.
The Spaniards had much difficulty in securing sufficient provisions. A filipinos had no large supplies. After the
settlement of Manila was made, a large part of the city was drawn from China. Which the Spaniards marched
where they willed and reduced the Filipinos. Laguna de Bay and the Caramines were among the most popular
portions of the archipelago. On the other hand, the Negritos seem to have been more numerous. They were
immediately noticed on the island of Negros. And in the vicinity of Manila and in Batangas they were mingling
with the Tagalog population. Conditions of Culture – In the southern Bisayas, where the Spaniards first entered
the archipelago, there seem to have two kinds of natives: the hill dwellers and the sea dwellers. Some of the
hill-folk and uncivilized, and must be very much as they were when the Spaniards first came. Language of the
Malayan People – With the exception of the Negritos, all the language of the Philippines belong to one great
family, which has been called the “Malayo-polynesian.” It is astonishing how widely these Malayo-polynesian
tongues have spread. Then those of the small islands known as Micronesia; and the North the languages of the
Philippines. For far westward on the coast of Africa is the island of Madagascar, many of whose languages have
no connection with African but belong to the Malayo-polynesian family. The Spanish friars, on their arrival in
the Philippines. Father Chirino tell us one Jesuit who learned sufficient Tagalog in Seventy days to preach and
hear confection. The four qualities of the four best languages of the world: Hebrew,Greek,and Spanish.
• System of Writing among the Filipinos – When the Spaniards arrived in the Philippines, the Filipinos were
using system of Writing borrowed from Hindu or Javanese source. The Spaniards introduced also the
cultivation of tabacco,cofee, and cacao, and perhaps also the native corn of America, the maize, although
Pigafetta says they found it already growing in the Bisayas. The Filipino has been affected by these centuries
of Spanish.
