purpose for writing Sucesos was so
he could chronicle "the deeds

Islands - as well as various
fortunes that they have from
time to time in the great
kingdoms and among the
pagan peoples surrounding
the islands. "
WHAT
WHY
HOW
What lead jose rizal to morga’s work
• Rizal was an earnest seeker of truth and this marked him
as historian
• He had a burning desire to know exactly the condition of
the Philippines when the Spaniards came ashore to the
islands
• His theory was that the country was economically self-
sufficient and prosperous. Entertained the idea that it
had a lively and vigorous community
• He believed the conquest of the Spaniards contributed
in part to the decline of the Philippine’s rich
traditions and culture.
What lead jose rizal to morga’s work
• He then decided to undertake the annotation of
Antonio de Morga’s Sucesos De Las Islas Filipinas.
• His personal friendship with Ferdinand Blumentritt

provided the inspiration for doing a new edition of
Morga’s Sucesos.
• Devoting four months research and writing and almost a

year to get his manuscript published in Paris in January
1890.
Why jose rizal chose morga’s work
• Rizal felt Morga to be more "objective" than the religious

writers whose accounts included many miracle stories.
• Morga, compared to religious chroniclers, was more

sympathetic to the indios; and finally, Morga was not
only an eyewitness but a major actor in the events he
narrates.
• Rizal's second consideration for the choice of Morga was
that it was the only civil, as opposed to religious or
ecclesiastical, history of the Philippines written during
the colonial period.
• The third consideration for the choice of Morga was Rizal’s

opinion that this secular account was more objective,
more trustworthy, than those written by the religious
missionaries which were liberally sprinkled with tales
of miracles and apparitions.
• The fourth consideration in Rizal's choice of the Morga
was that it appeared more sympathetic, at least in parts,
to the indios, in contrast to the friar accounts, many of which
were biased or downright racist in tone and interpretation
• The fifth and last consideration was that Morga was an

eyewitness, and therefore a primary source, on the
Philippines and its people at the point of first contact with
Spain.
How did jose rizal know about morga’s work
• Rizal found the book while he was in London at the

British Museum’s reading room.
• He hand copied the whole 351 pages of the book.
• And annotated every chapter of it.
• It was the first historical work on the Philippines by a

Filipino. It is the first history written from the point of view
of the colonized not the colonizer.
Rizal’s annotation
FIRST: SECOND:
straightforward the annotations

historical annotations, which, though
where Rizal amplifies historically based,
or corrects the reflect his strong
original. anticlerical bias.
Rizal’s Purpose of annotating morga’s work
• To awaken the consciousness of the Filipinos regarding their glorious

ways of the past
• To correct what has been distorted about the Philippines due to

Spanish Conquest
• To prove that the Filipinos are civilized/advanced even before the

coming of the Spaniards
• The people of the Philippines had a culture on their own,

before the coming of the Spaniards
• The people of the pre-Hispanic Philippines is
advanced, has high literacy rate, self sufficient and has
smooth foreign relations.
• Filipinos were decimated, demoralized, exploited and
ruined by the Spanish colonization.
• The present state of the Philippines was not
necessarily superior to its past.
• In his annotation, he included the colonial history of the

Philippines, being in prolonged periods of suffering
that many people have been subjected to.
• “The Philippines was depopulated, impoverished and

retorted, astounded by metaphor, with no confidence
in their past, still without faith in her present and
without faltering hope in the future”.
Ferdinand Bluementritt’s
prologue to sucesos de las islas
filipinas
• He wrote it in Spanish even though
German is his native language.
• Encouraged Rizal to write about the
Philippines’ pre-colonial History.
• He praised Rizal’s works as
“Scholarly and well-thought out”.
• Noted that the book is so rare that
very few libraries has it and guarded
it like a treasure
Bluementritt criticized rizal’s explanation on two accounts
• He noticed that Rizal had committed the mistakes of

many modern historians who judged events in the
past
• He said that Rizal shouldn’t condemn Catholicism

even though they didn’t do any effort to suppress
calls for reform. He should just keep the critique about
religious orders in the Philippines
The “SUCESOS” as annotated by Rizal,
appeared for the first time in the
Philippines sixty eight years later when
a publisher in Manila, published the new
work in 1958, to contribute his bit to the
national effort to honor Rizal. The present
work is the sixth volume of the Series of
Writings of Jose Rizal which the Jose Rizal
National Centennial Commission has no
published in commemoration of his birth.
