    De Morga did not consider the indigenous people of the Philippines to be civilized in his account. He described their food and way of life negatively. Rizal disagreed with de Morga's assessment in his annotations. Rizal argued that pre-Hispanic Filipinos had systems of writing, literature, metallurgy, ship-building, and trade with China, showing they had a civilization. He also questioned de Morga's portrayal of an indigenous cannon maker, believing it showed the Spaniards failed to properly understand Filipino people and culture.

    1. Did de Morga consider the indios of Las Islas Pilipinas to be civilized? 


    - Morga's point of view, the Philippines' islands were inhabitable, and the Filipino
    civilization did not exist. The livelihood during pre- Spanish period were only basic and their
    means of foods are 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. According to De Morga, Indios were civilized during
    the Spanish era, as religion was introduced in the Las Islas Pilipinas.

    2. How did Rizal react to de Morgas " Suceso de las Islas Pilipinas? 

    - Rizal theory in his annotations that the pre- hespanic civilization of the Philippines is that
    Filipinos have a system of writing and literature, metallurgy, ship-building industry and have
    trade contacts with China. On the fourth chapter of the book, Rizal annotate Morga’s narrative
    about an old indio, Panday Pira who handle the making of artillery. In Java and Borneo, Panday
    means “metalworker or ironsmith”, how come Panday Pira became a cannon maker? Upon
    contemplating about Morga’s interpretation, it’s another negligence of Spaniards to treat indios
    rightfully, even in this little thing it projects their wrongdoings. On the other hand, Rizal claim
    that indio at that time already knew how to find cannons even before the arrival of the Spaniards
