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".
-
