PRE- COLONIAL PHILIPPINES (RIZAL’S ANNOTATIONS OF “SUCESOS”)

PRE- COLONIAL ACCORDING TO (DE MORAGA’S SUCESOS)

 Comparison of Morga’s Sucesos and Rizal’s Annotations

Suesos de las Islas Filipinas is a book that depicts the colonizer's perspective on coming
in the Phillipines. The essay discusses the country's social, political, and economic
characteristics. Morga's chapter talks how the Philippines is uninhabitable and deserted, that
there is no administration, and that Filipinos prefer to eat rotting food. However, Rizal began to
respond to Morga's book comments. That Filipinos had long been civilized before the Spanish
colonized the Philippines.

The first image shows the tremendous culture of the Filipino civilization prior to their
colonization by the Spaniards. They were able to trade to create trade routes, and they had
traditions and traditions to explain how things happened around them. They were also able to
survive through obtaining food, such as fishing for fish and other foods. According to Rizal's
Annotations, the Philippines was not deserted and was actually habitable. Spaniards, like any
other nation, are disgusted by food to which they are not accustomed or are unusual. The Spanish
have decimated, exploited, and destroyed the Filipinos colonization, and he also stated that the
Philippines' current situation was not necessarily stronger to its history.

Morga's point of view is depicted in the second image. The Philippines' islands were
inhabitable, and the Filipino civilisation did not exist. Beef and fish are best when tasted after it
has began to decay and stink.  It provides the reader the sense that the food that Filipinos
consume previously is already ruined, which can make Filipinos feel disgusted.
