    Biography of Antonio Morga

    Antonio de Morga was a Spanish lawyer, government official, and historian who is also known
    asscene Antonio de Morga Sánchez Garay. He was born in Seville, Spain, around 1559, and
    passed away in Madrid in 1636. The writing "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas" (Events in the
    Philippine Islands), by Morga, is best known for providing a historical account of the early
    Spanish colonization of the Philippines. Morga was a lawyer and became a judge in several
    spanish colonies and was also appointed lieutenant governor of the Philippines in 1593. Sucesos
    de las Islas, which is regarded as one of the most important books on the early history of the
    Spanish colonization of the Philippines, was also written by him in 1609.

    What was the book ( Successos de las islas Filipinas) all about?

    The Spanish colonization of the Philippines is one of many subjects covered in the book. It starts
    with Ferdinand Magellan's arrival in 1521 and continues with Spanish expeditions and conquests
    which followed. The establishment of Spanish settlements, interactions with native people, the
    spread of Christianity, and the judicial and administrative frameworks put in place by the Spanish
    colonial authorities are all covered in Morga's account.

    Details about the social, cultural, and economic facets of Philippine society at that time are
    included in Morga's account. He offers insights into local people's customs, traditions, and
    governance structures as well as the effects of Spanish colonization. The book also discusses
    topics like trade, agriculture, and the Philippines' natural resources.

    "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas" serves as a legal and administrative reference in addition to its
    historical content. The governance structure, legal system, and laws that the Spanish government
    has enacted throughout the archipelago are all covered by Morga.

    What were the underlying reasons/rationale?

    The rationale was to document and record the history of the Spanish presence in the
    Philippines, particularly during the time when Spanish conquistadors and missionaries
    established colonial rule, the book "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas" was written. Morga set
    out to give an impartial and thorough account of the events, which included the early
    expeditions, Spanish settlements, interactions with the native peoples, and
    Christianization. As a legal and administrative reference, it advances Spanish interests
    and preserves the cultural heritage of the archipelago. It also gives a reliable historical
    account of Spanish colonization of the Philippines.

    Why Jose Rizal annotated his book?

    Rizal annotated Morga's book to reveal the pre-colonial history of the Philippines, refute
    Spanish colonial narratives, solidify Filipino nationalism, and advance reform and
    progress. His annotations aimed to rectify colonial propaganda, give a clearer account of
    Filipino history, and instill a sense of pride and identity in his fellow Countrymen.
