ACTIVITY 1 Critical Essay Part 1
Rizal’s annotation of Antonio de Morga’s Sucessos de las Islas Filipinas has shown

opinions. Your task is to identify and concisely explain how information/misinformation (through
various sources) is used to serve the interest of the leaders, at the expense of those subjects who are ruled.
Cite concrete and current examples if necessary. (15 points)

Rizal sought to show Filipinos their genuine culture and identity, not only a pre-
Spanish past, by releasing his annotated version of de Morga's Sucesos de las Islas
Filipinas. According to Rizal, Morga was the proof and foundation of Philippine
history. Filipinos, according to Rizal, already had their own culture and did not
require Spain's religion or "civilization." The impact of Jose Rizal's second major
book, commonly regarded as his best, on Philippine history will be discussed in this
lecture. The Morga annotations planted the seeds of how Filipinos should think
about themselves in the face of burgeoning nationalism, eventually leading to the
formation of a national identity. The Morga comments planted the seeds of how
Filipinos should think about themselves in the face of burgeoning nationalism,
eventually leading to the foundation of a country.
