    Chapter 11:

    Looking at the
    Filipino Past
    During the Spanish colonial period, many of the
    early histories depicted the Filipinos in negative
    terms.

    Jose Rizal’s annotation of Antonio Morga’s work,


    Sucesos Las Islas Filipinas, was an attempt to
    redress this biased view of the Filipinos.
    Annotation of
    Antonio Morgas’s
    Sucesos De Las Islas
    Meaning of Sucesos De Las
    Islas Filipinas
    • The word Las Islas Filipinas has its English
    translation which means “The Philippine Island”.
    • The word Sucesos means it is the work of an
    honest observer, a versatile bureaucrat, who knew
    the working of the administration from the inside.
    Antonio De Morga
    AntonioSanchez
    De Morga Garay
    -He was born in Seville in 1559
    -The Lieutenant-Governor of the Philippines in
    1593
    -A judge of the Audiencia in 1598
    -President of the Audiencia in 1615 in Mexico
    -Later found guilty of corruption
    -Died in 1636 before being sent to gallows
    Sucesos de La Islas
     Published in 1609 in Mexico

    Filipinas
     Consisted of 8 chapter
     First seven chapter dealt with the terms of the governor-generals
    who had served in the Philippines from the time of Miguel Lopez de
    Legaspi in 1565 to Pedro de Acuna in 1606.
     The last chapter titled “An Account of the Philippine Island”
     While at the British Museum in late 1889, Rizal found a copy of the
    first edition of Antonio Morga’s Sucesos de Las Islas Filipinas and
    began copying the text by hand.
     He annotated the work along the way with the intention of creating
    a critical work on the history of the Philippines.
    Rizal’s Annotation of
    Morga’s Sucesos
     While at the British Museum in late 1889, Rizal found a
    copy of the first edition of Marga’s Sucesos and began the
    text by hand. He annotated the work along the way with the
    intention of creating work on the history of the Philippines.

     On September 1889, Rizal published the annotations in


    Gernier Hermanos, a printing press in Paris.
    Five Reasons for Rizal’s choice to
    1.Annotate
    Morga’s work was rarethe Sucesos
    2. Morga provided a secular view of the historical
    events
    3. Rizal believe that a secular view was more credible
    than that of the religious.
    4. It was more sympathetic than the friars account.
    5. Morga’s work was an eyewitness to the events
    during the early period of Spanish colonization.
    The Publication of his
    annotations to Sucesos
    Rizal presented an outline of a linear conception of
    history.

    Noli Me Tangere dealt with the nineteenth century

    El Filibusterismo and the essay titled “The


    Philippines a Century Hence” covered the future,
    the annotations off Sucesos tackled the past.
