    Rizal annotated Antonio Morga's book "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas" for several reasons: 1) It was a rare primary source document about the earliest days of Spanish colonization in the Philippines. 2) As a layman, Morga provided a more objective view than religious chroniclers. 3) Rizal hoped to use Morga's first-hand observations and history to foster Philippine national identity and consciousness through historical revisionism.

    Annotation of Antonio Morga’s Sucesos de las

    Islas Filipinas

    The Propaganda and the Tripartite View of Phil


    History

    Dr. Rina Ramos-Palmiano LLB, LPT


    Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas
    • This book narrates observations about the Filipinos and the
    Philippines from the perspective of the Spaniards.
    • This book is considered valuable in the sense that it reflects the first
    formal record of the earliest days of the Philippines as a Spanish colony.
    • Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas (Events in the Phillipines Isles)  The book
    was published in two volumes, both in 1609 by Casa de Geronymo Balli,
    in Mexico City  1609 (April 17) - Viceroy Luis de Velasco authorized
    the publication and granted Morga the sole right to publish it for ten years
     1609 – Fray Garcia Guerra
    What is the motivation of Rizal in annotating
    the word of Morga?
    • 1.  Original first published book "the original book was rare; primary
    source
    • 2. Morga was a layman not a religious chronicler; Rizal felt Morga to be
    more "objective" than the religious writers, which, according to many
    scholars, had an honest description of the Philippine situation during the
    Spanish period.
    • 3. Based on his personal experienced and observation
    What is the importance of Rizal's annotations to Morga?
    • The importance of Rizal's annotations to Morga was that he tried to use
    history and historical revision, not just to express his personal views
    on the historiography, but to create a sense of national consciousness
    or identity.
