    Study Notes

    Rizal's Morga and Views of Philippine History

    • Antonio de Morga, a 16th-century lieutenant governor, described indigenous Filipino food as primarily rice, cooked fish, pork, venison, buffalo (carabaos), beef, and fish, often consumed when it had begun to rot.

    • Rizal, writing 280 years later, was angered by Morga's descriptions, arguing that the Spaniards viewed unfamiliar food with disgust, criticizing Morga's comments on Filipino cuisine.

    • Rizal's critique of Morga's observations was not in his novels or polemical texts, but within a scholarly work annotating Morga's "Sucesos de las Islas Filipinas".

    • Rizal's annotations to Morga are now seen as historical commentary, sometimes outdated due to the advancement of historical, archeological and ethnographic research, which has validated some of Rizal's observations but has dated the work.

    • Censorhip and limited circulation have hampered the widespread reading of Morga.

    • Rizal's annotations lacked contemporary utility and were limited to a specific readership due to language barriers.

    • Difficulty accessing copies and limited accessibility to the work by the public contributed to its lesser-known status and limited impact.

    • Rizal's annotations were part of a larger historical project that aimed to highlight a Filipino perspective of Philippine history.

    • He believed that Filipino culture deserved a clearer and more objective representation of their historical circumstances.

    • Rizal believed the Philippines had a rich and complex pre-colonial culture which should be recognized and appreciated, not simply viewed as part of Spanish history.

    • Rizal saw pre Spanish history from an indigenous perspective.

    • Rizal viewed Spanish colonization negatively, suggesting it hindered rather than advanced Philippine civilization.

    • Rizal's work used Morga as a lens, highlighting specific aspects of Philippine history while criticizing Spanish colonialism.

    • Rizal's criticism of the friars's religious influence and their impact on Philippine historical accounts was prominent.
