EXERCISE 6

1. Differentiate the major reasons behind Morga’s writing of the Succesos and Rizal’s annotation
of Morga? What motivated Morga ? What about Rizal ? 10 pts.

- So that he may record "our Spaniards' accomplishments, the discovery, conquering, and
conversion of the Filipinas Islands - as well as numerous fortunes that they had from time to
time in the major kingdoms and among the pagan peoples around the islands". Rizal opted to
annotate Morga's work because he was more "neutral" than religious writers and because he
was not only an eyewitness but also a prominent player in the events he described.
2. Provide a compare and contrast matrix highlighting the similarities and differences of Rizal and
Morga’s history of the Philippines ( i.e. the place , people, culture, etc ) 10 pts.
